My name is Ertunga and I was born in 1977 in Kusadasi, where I still live. I graduated from the University of Philology, Department of English Language and Litarature. Since I grew up and have lived all my life in a touristic town, guiding has always been my dream. Very early I understood that it would be the most convenient job for my lifestyle, because I like history, archeology, traveling and meeting different people and cultures, but beyond everything I love my country and would like people to see it’s beauty and understand it’s history and culture. In 2001 I became a professional tourist guide, with the license issued by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Since then I have been guiding in all areas in Turkey and meeting tourists from all over the world.
