Moscow Destination Consultant
Melih is very much a multilingualist - he speaks Turkish, Russian, Arabic and German, as well as English. His life's trajectory has taken him from Turkey, through Malta and Georgia, finally to Moscow.
His career has been equally versatile: he has studied primary health care and Arabic, as well as taking a degree in Civil Engineering. Professionally, he has spent a lot of time in Tbilisi, Georgia, where he set up the first Ford dealership in the city. He also worked as an import/export manager, as well as becoming a real estate broker for two years in Istanbul before his move to Moscow in 2007.
Russia is another world entirely for Westerners,’ he tells us. ‘Moscow can seem daunting at first, but with some inside knowledge, it can be surprising how easily a lot of things fall into place. It is also very important to establish quickly a network of friends, as this not only facilitates the settling in process, but also provides a support group for the moments when things aren’t quite going to plan.’
Melih looks forward to guiding you through the complexities of settling into the Russian capital.
