    Description

    Hello, I'm Özgür. I live in Izmir, but I have a house in a small town called Karaburun. During the weekdays, I stay in this quaint seaside town. I am a lawyer and own a law firm. Additionally, I am a natural mushroom (fungi) expert. I love exploring nature, going on hikes and mushroom hunting, and taking photographs.

    Karaburun is 110 km from Izmir. It is a small town, quiet and very beautiful. My house is 3 minutes from the beach.

    Until 2017, I was a traveler and visited the following countries: Cuba, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro
