Elif decided to leave her hometown of Erzurum, eastern Turkey when she was 17 and has since lived in six different countries and travelled to more than 30. She believes that travelling alone is empowering and that it makes you question everything you have been taught. It's also very humbling; the more you travel, she finds, the more you realise how little you know. Kuala Lumpur is where she calls home now.
