I was born in Alkmaar (Netherlands) and grow up in Langedijk, that’s where I lived all my life. After I finished all my schools it was time to start working, NO! Instead I decided to start traveling, I took my backpack and went to Australia, where I had the best year of my life (till I met GS). But the traveling virus has attracted me and I loved it. After a year in Australia and New Zealand it was really time to start working, as I was totally broke.

I have been working in glasshouses, picking flowers and after that in the car-rental business. I never liked the fact that I was working for someone who decides what I need to do and tells me what time I need to be there and when I can leave. So after a few years I started my own business on the internet, that gave me the opportunity to travel more as well again. Always as a backpacker.

Nowadays I’m going through life as rider on my Honda CRF250L, sold everything I owned in Holland and living on my motorcycle and as a roof we have a tent above our head.

I was born south of Turkey which city is called Adana. I grew up there and than moved to Istanbul for University. After graduated I found good job in Istanbul and never turn back my city. Also, my brother came to Istanbul for university. After a while my family has moved to Istanbul 😉

I was working finance sector and actually I had a good carrier and was earning good money. I was a system analyst to many banks for 15 years. Even if I like my job so much, I never want to work so long. Because always, I was thinking to see the world and discover. I started to travel a lot when I was working but never got enough. What could I do? It wasn’t easy to resign and went your way. Good job, good money! Also, You have a lot of friends, nice apartment and good life.

Until, I lost my mother. She was just 57 years old and she was so healthy. I understood that Life is really so short. If I don’t choose what I want now maybe I never have it. I quit my job. Pack my backpack and have started to explore the world. My first continent was South America. I don’t know why but when I was young I wanted to live there. Almost 3 years I was there. Sometimes, I went back to visit my father.
