My dream came true: Travelling around Europe with my wife

I am 54 years old. I was born in Istanbul, °Õ¨¹°ù°ì¾±²â±ð, 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 °Õ¨¹°ù°ì¾±²â±ð 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 °Õ¨¹°ù°ì¾±²â±ð, 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 ¨C and look forward to making many more!
