Description
Hi,
I am Melike. I am a visual artist and have been travelling for a long-term, volunteering as a way of travelling since January 2018.
In the past years, I did many workaway and art projects in Africa, Asia, Caribbeans and around Europe. Such as: mural paintings, graphic design, art projects, teaching, working in hostels, animal sanctuaries, farms. Last 3 years most of my projects were about my artistic practice, so I painted dozens of walls both outdoors and indoors. All these amazing experiences have motivated me to continue my travels around the world - and keep on enjoying, learning and capturing as many experiences as possible.
I appreciate cross-cultural environments, which to me means: live happily, open, and freedom. So, I'm actively engaged in it through working and participating in projects along the way. After 1,5 year travelling by myself, I met with my travel partner, now my husband, together we took lots of projects together in 4 years which allowed us to use different skills and abilities that we have. We are taking it as way to live and continue that journey of our life in other parts of the world. Meanwhile I still do short trips myself and take projects along the way.Interests
