PROS:

  • I am extremely sincere and you will not feel “alien” around me…
  • I have good knowledge about our history plus our superstitions, spiritual world, foods and of course historical gossips…
  • during the tour, I can change our program and route as we wish…
  • I am a natural storyteller that I have many stories to share…
  • I have a good sense of humor never give up smiling.

CONS:

  • I don’t like being formal, even I act sometimes with the help of suits & ties, I am still the same nuts inside…
  • I can be addictive. But at least I am not harmful like drugs and cigarettes and I smell perfect (thank you)…
  • If you show your interest in Turkish Food or mythology etc. I can speak forever.
  • I walk a lot and big probably I will drag you from one place to the other…
