I am an architect from Istanbul (Turkey) and currently volunteering in a small village in Dordogne (France). I love to travel, meet new people, and discover new cultures. I am interested in documentary photography, tango, and theatre. I love spending time in nature, doing yoga and meditation.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is "Divine Comedy" and I love all of their songs but I think "A Lady of a Certain Age" has an extraordinary place in my life. I love Wes Anderson's movies. His short movie "Hotel Chevalier" is my favorite one. I almost love all his full-length films. It is so hard to choose a book as a "favorite", all of them are a different world for me. But if I had to choose, "The Catcher in the Rye" by David Salinger was really excellent!
