My name is Pinar, I am from Istanbul, Turkey. I studied in England and worked as a computer programmer across Europe for ten years. A few years ago, I left my career to follow my dream of becoming a traveling storyteller.
In the past couple of years, I have participated in short documentary filmmaking workshops with UCL in London, UK, and with the Auroville Film Institute in Gujarat and Ladakh, India.
I love discovering new places, meeting people, and immersing myself in different cultures and languages. During my travels, I prefer to stay in one place for an extended period to connect with the land and its people, observing their daily lives.
My passion is sharing stories of all kinds—exploring people's lives, traditions, and struggles—while also raising awareness about important topics such as environmental issues, human and animal rights, and mental health.
I am deeply fascinated by the connection between humans, ancient traditions, and nature in all its elements. I aim to highlight the importance of reconnecting with nature, as our ancestors did and as some Indigenous and tribal communities still do today.
