I am a traveler-writer who learned life not behind a desk, but in the field, on the road, and through people.
I worked for nearly 25 years within corporate structures and holdings. I experienced firsthand how systems function, how decisions are made, and how labor is valued—or ignored.
After retirement, I did not step aside. For another 15 years, I continued my journey as an entrepreneur. I took risks, I won, I lost—but I always produced. For me, retirement is not withdrawing from life; it is the time to share accumulated experience.
Throughout my life, I have been in 21 countries and 60 cities. From Japan to Africa, from Western Europe to the Balkans, I observed how people live, what they hold onto, and what keeps them standing.
Within Türkiye, I traveled across 50 provinces and more than 300 districts and villages. I sat in coffeehouses, walked through markets, talked in fields, and listened in cities. That is why my writing comes not from maps, but from life itself.
For a period, I worked as a manager on an airport construction project in Niger. Between 1991 and 1992, I witnessed the difficult years in Belarus during the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I am still in contact with friends from those regions. These experiences taught me one thing: although geography changes, human concerns, dignity, and expectations remain remarkably similar.
In my personal life, I have been married for 33 years and am the father of two children. As a family, we traveled extensively both domestically and abroad, discovering the world together. My elder son is a senior engineer, my younger son works in tourism management. Both live and work abroad and have each visited nearly 20 countries. My wife is a chemist and retired.
We are a closely connected family that values solidarity. The balance, patience, and sense of conscience felt in my writing stem partly from this foundation.
On this blog, I write about:
Türkiye’s economic and social realities,
retirement, work, and entrepreneurship,
justice, hope, and despair,
and comparative observations from someone who has seen the world,
in a sincere, simple, and unembellished manner.
My aim is not to offend anyone, but to make reality visible.
Because sometimes problems remain unsolved not because they are unspoken, but because they are spoken from the wrong place.
