My dream came true: Travelling around Europe with my wife
I am 54 years old. I was born in Istanbul, Türkiye, and graduated from electrical vocational school in 1987.
I went to the United States in 1990, where I stayed for 20 years, before moving back to Türkiye in 2010.
Trucking was my father’s occupation. I knew all about trucks since I was little boy.
After leaving the United States, I wanted to explore Europe. So I decided to become a truck driver. I’ve travelled all over Europe over the past 13 years.
Then I married my beautiful wife in 2017 and I always wanted to travel to Europe together. She got her truck driving licence and qualifications in 2023. We’ve been working now together as a team for the past eight months. I love my job even more now!
I work for one of the best transport companies in Türkiye, Transbatur Logistics. In our line of work, you need to be patient. Safety is always our top priority. I don’t just represent myself but also my company and country.
We have a lot of good memories and experiences – and look forward to making many more!
