I have spent most of my life in Istanbul, where I was born and grown up. I studied history and worked as a researcher and translator at a university in Istanbul. I have lived in Canada for two years, where I studied museum management and worked in a museum focusing on native American culture and objects, as well as receiving an english teaching certificate (TESOL). Traveled to thirty countries so far and willing to travel even more if I find the chance. I still keep traveling back and forth.
