Aydin Odyakmaz Becomes Resident Blogger of BNP!

Posted on by K. Gordon

Canadian Rockies Travel Group (CRTG) is pleased to welcome Aydin Odyakmaz as Resident Blogger to banffnationalpark.com and its sister travel websites of the CRTG network.

As resident of the Canadian Rockies town of Canmore since 1991, Aydin brings a unique personal perspective of what it is like to call Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies home.  A veteran of the tourism and hospitality industry, Aydin’s interests include photography, both still and video, with an indepth understanding of how to use social media to bring the Canadian Rockies to the world.  His extensive portfolio can be found at Aydin Odyakmaz Productions.  

And if that is not enough to keep him busy, Aydin was appointed a Marriage Commissioner in the Province of Alberta in 2014.  Officiating wedding ceremonies in arguably some of the world’s most spectacular scenery makes for one incredible start to any marriage. 

An avid biker of both road and mountain Aydin is also an accomplished snow boarder.  But at the end of the day, it is food, wine and whiskey that sharpens his focus!  Aydin shares his passion for food thru his website Alberta Foodie.

Married with two children, Aydin is a true mountain renaissance man.

Aydin’s motto is “making you smile, makes me smile”.  We can hardly wait to read and experience Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies from Aydin’s perspective!
