Hobbies

National referee since 2010

Table Tennis

I play, and I officiate as a national referee for the Turkish Table Tennis Federation. Knowing both sides of the table makes you read the game very differently.

On the road

Motorcycling

I enjoy riding; the road is a form of rest in its own right.

Tent

Camping

I like tent camping. Nothing else clears your head quite the way a place without electricity does.

Open air

The Outdoors

Spending time outdoors, walking and looking around is my favourite way to rest.

Soil

Allotment Gardening

I keep an allotment garden. Waiting for what you planted to grow teaches patience.

Collection

Foreign Banknote Collection

I collect foreign banknotes. Each one carries a piece of its country's history and sense of design.

Map

Travel

I like to travel. The countries and cities I have visited are gathered on the map on the Travels page.
