Dania Demirci
Dania is an American who first traveled to Turkey over 20 years ago expecting to see deserts and camels with barely a clue of exactly where Turkey was on the map. An opportunity arose for her to come to Turkey to help start a tourism business gaining expertise in Turkey travel, exploring the country and gaining insights on the best places to stay, where to eat, best guides and the lesser known areas of the country. She met and married Enes and they begin the journey of adventuring together in Turkey.
She believes exploring and designing a life to live on purpose creates personal growth and transformation. She enjoys all things travel, adventure, entrepreneurship & self-discovery. Dania loves maps, photography, nature, and empowering kids to get outside.
