  • Description

    Hi! I’m Erdem — born and raised by the sea in Türkiye, with a very Mediterranean heart: warm, social, and always ready for a good laugh and a small talk. I enjoy good company, helping out, and finding small adventures in everyday life.

    For many years I worked in the engineering world — land surveying, drone mapping, fiber optic infrastructure projects… and even though I built a strong, responsible career (sticking with the same company for a long time teaches loyalty and teamwork!), a part of me always wanted more human stories and adventure.

    So I followed the call of movement:
    mountains → industrial/rock climbing
    martial arts → Aikido black belt
    the road → my motorcycle
    and my own mind → meditation and a little yoga

    Experience in:
    * handyman & repair
    * content creation
    *drone videography
    * rock climbing

    On the creative side, I’m developing an interest in DJing and music production, enjoying rhythm, sound, and shared energy.

    What inspires me most is real connection:
    sharing a meal, helping someone feel safe,
    seeing people smile because of something I did.
    Those are the moments that matter to me.

    I’m responsible, easygoing, and genuinely enjoy helping — whether it’s fixing something simple, creating drone videos, cooking easy Med. foods, teaching a bit of martial arts (peaceful vibes only ✌️), or just being the person who brings good energy to the room.

    All the best!
