When I was younger, I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. There was this passion within me, and some-what a voice in my head. I knew from a young age that I wanted to either be a lawyer or a fashion designer. But did I really want that or was it just my parents and society telling me that I need to become that?…
I know, I might have been a few days late with this ‘new year, new me’ shebang. But you know what? One of the main thing that this past decade taught me was to never rush, and to just take my time. So I am doing just that.…
A few months ago, I had the insane privilege of attending and photographing the happenings at the Global Climate Strike in New York City. This inspiring initiative was lead by the young Swedish activist, Greta Thunberg.…
No, I am not suicidal. I just needed to clarify and get it out there, because I do get called that a lot. To be quite honest, I do not think that that word is even in my personal vocabulary.

For the longest time, my answer to this would be just to shrug and say, "I don't know." But in reality, I perfectly know why I go and explore alone. I know, and today, I'm telling you my side of the story.…
You see, when I was younger, I would always write down my dreams and goals in life in bullet points. This was a trait that I have adapted in my early adult life. I would write down my plans and goals in the years to come, then I would obsess about it. More often than not, these plans have changed. I might have lost my cool whenever these…
If there is an important thing that keeping a journal has taught me, it is this: life changes constantly, and it might suck now, but tomorrow it will be better. This journal is my current one and I got it from a local boutique in Istanbul. I have lost count on what number this journal is, but I know one thing: I will never stop documenting and writing…
So as I have said, I know that I haven't been posting a lot since I have become really busy in the past few months. I would like to welcome my new readers with a bit of a little 'getting to know me' post. Nobody asked for this (hahahahahahaha) but I will post it anyway. Here are 10 random facts about me…
