We have travelled the entire world. We've been to all 197 of its countries. But to the unacquainted, who exactly are we?

Varuna Gezgin is a cafe chain founded by Maths teacher Murat Fıçıcı, who, after decades of exploring the world with a backpack, sought to bring his students along with him in order to expand their horizons. It’s a concept born from the idea of introducing different cultures from across the world to younger generations. A school founded on the idea that travel is the best teacher there is.

To date we have enabled thousands of students to see distant corners of the world. And while we continue our journey with pride, we’ve also started recording our trips to bring the world to a wider audience.

Because we’ve learned all we’ve ever learned on the road. And we want to help pave the way for you to get to know the world.

Join us on our journey.
