Travelling
Description
*FEB UPDATE: I successfully completed my crazy 7-month-Europe trip (5 months Workawaying + 2 month interrailling) plus 3 months across Asia to get to Australia which is where I am now, woohoo. Looking forward to working in Melbourne as well as traveling around the country!
Helllooooo! My name is Ege, pronounced like "reggae" without the 'r' I am an adventure seeker, amateur philosopher, even more amateur photographer and somewhat experienced traveler.
My goal in life is to travel as much as I can and be a productive member of the community I am a part of. I love meeting new people and learning new languages (I currently speak English and Turkish fluently and Italian and Spanish at a high proficiency level!)
I believe in community, shared sympathy, open-mindedness and having a big heart! I love trying new things, being adventurous and taking risks, and I invite everyone to do the same!
I am a college graduate from a small university in the US with degrees in Art History and Philosophy.
Since graduating from college in 2019, I've been working at different NGOs around the world and I am now traveling full time having just finished exploring almost all of Europe and excited to head East to Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia and Australia!

What else ...
I like playing cards or board games; especially when someone teaches me a new game I've never played before! I also love playing backgammon and the Turkish game of Okey (very similar to Rummikub if you're familiar with that).
I played soccer all my life and I played rugby all four years of university. I enjoy playing all kinds of team sports and I love hiking and backpacking!
One of my biggest hobbies is hiking up a new location and finding a hidden gem like a cave or a secret beach! I would love to discover the hidden gems in your community and please tell me where the best hiking or swimming is!!
Oh and I LOVE to cook and I love even more to cook with and for people! I can teach you some Turkish and Italian dishes and I can make everything from scratch homemade lasagna and really good fried rice!
