Your host

 

Belinda Berkya is the founder of Art Escapades. After over 30 years of a rewarding corporate life and raising a family Belinda decided to use her years of experience in business in combination with her passion for travel, art, assisting other women to find their "joie de vie".

"My nature is to look at the big picture however my professional life has instilled in me the need to also concentrate on the detail"

Belinda is passionate about the need for women to support one another.

Having fallen in love with Turkey and her people when she first lived in Bodrum over 35 years ago, Belinda has regularly hosted small groups of Australians to share the beauty of the country, the richness of it's culture and the kindness of it's people.

 "France is my other love much to my family's dismay at times. I can't help it it is something deep within me ... I am so at home when in France"

Belinda's love of France moved her to French studies at University. Belinda has travelled and studied in France and always seeks out the road less travelled where possible.
