I was born and grew up in Turkey. I graduated in Business Administration. Excellent at time, process and project management. Strong teamwork and problem solving skills. Strong negotiation skills.

Pigale Hotel – Kuşadası 2010 : I worked as animator in this hotel. I had a great chance to improve my English speaking ability during the summer break. A very good experience for a college student. I also had the opportunity to observe and understand the cultures of different nations.

 Mavi Tatil Köyü, Bodrum 2011 : I worked as animator at this hotel during the whole summer. I was the leader of the entertainment team. I had five people under my command. This also gave me the experience about management. 

Cave Deluxe Hotel, Nevşehir 2012 : My first front office experience. Cave Deluxe is a boutique hotel. I worked in this hotel for eight months. Had a chance to interact with the customers in their very first entry to the hotel. Front offices means a lot to hotels. Because, the workers in the front office creates the first image about the whole hotel. 

Double Tree By Hilton Cappadocia, Nevşehir – 2013 : I worked in this hotel for seven months as front office clerk. During this time I had a chance to improve my experience. 

Museum Hotel, Nevşehir – 2013-2017 : Museum Hotel is the best boutique hotel of Europe in 2013. One and only member of Relais & Châteaux in Turkey. Before military service, I worked as front desk clerk for a year. After military service, I worked for two years as concierge. Since the hotel was a boutique one, there was no guest relation department. Because of that, concierge department had to handle guest relation’s work. That way, I had a chance to experience the guest relation as well. I had to stop this business because of ISIS terrors effects on industry. 

Eyewitness Travel, Istanbul – 2018 – 2020 : Eyewitness Travel is a local and boutique travel agency located in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. It was my first agency experience. After the hospitality industry, I noticed that, I like dynamic business more. Because in this agency, my position was travel consultant and operation. Additionally, I was going to new hotels to make new contacts for more guests. 

Fast & Best Mobile PCR Service – 2021 – 2022 Founder: Pandemic! Unfortunately, pandemic started and destroyed all our life. My life was one of them. It was really hard time to decide and to read the future. But when tourism started slowly, I noticed that there is only one thing that all tourists need, PCR test. So I created a very basic web site for a short period and founded this service. We were giving PCR service in guest’s hotel or Airbnb address. It was very successful and most profitable business. 

Turkey Travel Planner, Online Travel Agency, 2019 – On going, Founder.  This agency is one of my project from Museum Hotel period. Even during Covid, I never lost my motivation and I kept coming up with new ideas. Still I have this agency with my business partner. It’s not going bad if we evaluate it with low budget and with all bad lucks. But since I moved a new European country, I need a new job to guarantee my life and to adapt country.

My profession is hotel management and travel agency. As in every professions, hotel management also requires some set of skills. Such as maintaining good relations with customers during their stay and getting their needs done. This may seem like an easy thing to achieve but the years I spent in the hotel management proved otherwise. Making customers happy and satisfied during their stay is the main element of being successful in this sector. While I was working at Cave Deluxe, I had a great chance to improve my hotel management abilities. Because, Cave Deluxe was a special project hotel. The owner of the hotel, Mr Güdü, also owned a company that provided consulting services to many other hotels. The company’s name is "Modern Business of Butlers". Mr. Güdü shared this precious knowledge with me while working at his hotel. Then my hotel management career began to climb in the right direction, upwards. When I started to work in the agency, I had a change to understand how create a new business. I also understood what I needed in agency business. After then I created my businesses and both of them was successful. Travel Planner still works fine. I’m still a young man but I believe I’m climbing my stairs with correct pace. Fortunately, after all bad luck, I never lost all my everything and I tried my change again and again.
