Elif decided to leave the little town of Erzurum in the eastern Turkey when she was 17 to escape the bubble run by patriarchy. Since then, she has lived in six different countries and travelled across over 30 more. She believes that travelling alone is empowering and that it makes you question everything you have been taught. It's also very humbling, as Elif finds that the more you travel, the more you realise how little you know. Kuala Lumpur is where she calls home now.

Elif is the current Head of Special Projects for Tune Talk Sdn. Bhd.

Elif will share her experience in growing up in a country where the constant conflict of east and west debilitated the freedom of each individual and how this impacted her to travel and what she learnt on the road.
