Description
Hi, I'm Mert.
I'm 28 years old and I live in Istanbul. After graduating from the vocational school of machine design and manufacturing, I completed my BSc in mechanical engineering. Due to my family's involvement in landscaping, construction, and mechanical fields, I've developed a keen interest in these areas. Alongside my professional development, I've been motivated by outdoor sports for 8 years.
In my athletic pursuits, I've camped and traveled 2500 km by bicycle. I've also explored my country extensively through numerous hitchhiking experiences. Running is a passion of mine, and I particularly enjoy orienteering in the forest. I've pushed my limits in various challenging sports such as marathons, the Bosphorus swim, skiing, and triathlons.
Ever since I saw it in my family's town, I've had a deep love for nature and take great pleasure in working with handicrafts. In my home in Istanbul, I've dedicated a room as my workshop for crafting, where I spend time with art and crafts.
This summer, I aim to gain new experiences by exploring new places and meeting new people.Interests
