Your host
Hello! My name is Mehmet. I was born around half a century ago in a country that is literally a giant open-air museum of history that is called Turkey and have been leading tours for Go Ahead / EF for 28 years now. Culinary and wine tours, Biblical and Jewish heritage tours are also in my portfolio. I have also, in the past years, given lectures and presentations on Turkey's history in several universities and community centers across the U.S.A. I have always felt blessed with what i have chosen as a job. My passions beside travel are photography ( few exhibits), mountain biking, yoga (instructor). Currently living in İzmir on the Mediterranean and looking forward to meeting you, my new friends.
