  • 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.

  • More details about your skills

    I have gained experience in many professions since my childhood. I worked as an assistant in professions such as cement and masonry, carpentry, electrical installation, plumbing and wall painting.

    I worked as a waiter in hotels and cafes.

    I shared posts on Instagram, tagging people who produce my favorite wood works. I reached up to 650 different posts and 12k followers.

    I made wooden coffee tables, wall shelves and similar items that my relatives requested from me and gave them as gifts.

    As much as I love sports, I worked with teams organizing sports races. I organized orienteering, running races and entertainment games.

    I worked on bicycle repairs and helped repair my friends' bicycles.
