My name is Rüstem , I am a licensed tour guide and I have been in tourism area for about 25 years. On one hand , I like travelling , exploring new places and cultures and meeting local people. On the other hand , as a guide , I enjoy showing fantastic architectural structures and fabulous landscapes , exhibit many components of culture in my city or around to the guests visiting my country. When I was at high school far from my hometown , as the city is very close the Greek and Bulgarian border , I used to have lots of opportunities to meet tourists and help them for shopping and then be offered to show them around. Since then tourism and guiding has always been my ambition. At university , first I studied English language and some years later graduated from Tourist Guiding Department and finally achieved my goal. Bursa , which is also known " Green Bursa " because of its gardens and parks , is one of the most important tourist destinations in Turkey.
