Istanbul - city of contrasts https://journals.worldnomads.com/azikatti/ Tue, 7 Apr 2026 05:31:35 GMT World Nomads Adventures I'm a young chap from what we call a crossroad of the world, from the country where east meets the west and north meets the south, from the land of fire, from Azerbaijan. My name is Azer, which means "fire" and is the first part of the name of my country. My education and working experience is purely connected to IT and technology and photography is nothing but a deepest and strongest passion in my life. I also love travelling and have been in Ukraine and Russia- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.102639382619.94808.665292619&type=3, Georgia, Turkey and traveled a bit around US. Why do you have to select me? Well, the answer is pretty obvious - I really do love photography and I do love travelling and exploring new horizons. Another reason to select me is my background. Azerbaijan has a very strong Muslim roots, so I know how to behave in a Muslim country, I know what to take a picture of and whatnot. As an epilogue of my small essay, I would like to thank you guys for giving me an other folks a chance to make our dreams come true. Looking forward to meet you guys in person.
