About Me

Can I describe myself with few words and categories? I hardly think so.
I believe people are too complex to be described under categories and adjectives such as "open-minded", "introverted/extroverted", "warm/cold", "funny/serious" and so on...
But there must be some introduction or description anyway. People can't connect with an empty profile. I wouldn't do that!!

I think my interests somehow represent me...
I study sociology (I prefer to be defined and conceived as a "student" or "social scientist") and I love it. But there are many problems in my way.
I haven't traveled much by now, mostly because financial matters and my lifestyle (I'm doing "research on the couch" most of the times). But I love to meet and know different people and different cultures.
I've changed through time and definitely will change :)

Please define "amazing" for me :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not an "upper-class" member, so I can't share amazing material things with hosts and guests :)
But I like to discuss and exchange ideas with as many people as possible.
