About

I’m Melis. I grew up in Bodrum, lived a while in Istanbul, and in 2011 I turned my dream of traveling into a small online project. After visiting a few countries, I booked a one-way ticket to India in 2013 — and that marked the start of a long journey as a full-time traveler. Between 2013 and 2019, I moved through different places, worked in different projects, and kept taking photos along the way. In 2019, I moved to Switzerland with my partner, whom I met on the road. These days, I spend my time between photography, garden design, our brand Doti Sutra. And human of three cats.
