After having family connections in Turkey and extensively travelling within the country throughout my late teens and early twenties, I quickly became fascinated in Turkish/Anatolian culture with a particular passion for the region’s history and language. I have widely researched different topics mainly focusing around the different religious and ethnic minorities in Turkey today which has given me great insight into the multifaceted cultural heritage of the region and its people. With a great passion for Turkish music (especially Anatolian Rock of the 1970-80’s) and the regions food and drink combined with an interest in the country’s cinema, I aim to one day incorporate these passions into a future career which will give me the opportunity to spend long periods of time in a region that I feel very passionate about.
