Travel the world

ABOUT ME

Mmmmm…. Let's see….I guess I'm fun? At least that's the one word I can consistently see people using describing me. Most of the times I am!
I am a crazy active person that is always doing sth, well actually I am always doing at least 3 things at the same time which can have some disastrous effects... ;-) I love going out, being with friends, dancing, sporting...actually all sorts of outside activities….Love the good things in life, which I consider to be the simple ones….Laugh, wine, cheese, babies & kittens, sunlight and the smell of coffee, especially early morning…. I'm very easy going ….. Non confrontational, still figuring out my passion……In the mean time, enjoying life pretty much every day! ;-)
I love of course travelling and meeting new people from different places... I think the world is really a great place and there are so many things to be discovered ... For me more than visiting special places, life is all about creating special bounds ….. For that reason more than traveling around I like to experience the world around me ….. I can't wait to do so !! ;-)
I’m living in Izmir for 2 years but previously was in Stuttgart- Germany, and before that, New York more before Los Angeles…. While I was in Stuttgart I was working for a company which builds water treatment systems as an engineer…. Studied college at Izmir- 9 September University- Mining engineering, http://www.deu.edu.tr/deuwebv2/en/? high school, mid school at Izmir, NY and LA ... Right now I am working at Izmir University (http://english.izmir.edu.tr/ ) at the international relations office, besides I organize the University events like parties and festivals …. As far as that goes, will see ... ;-) Besides work, I give support to women’s rights association as a volunteer…. I'm hoping to get an MBA degree in the near future …. I spend way too much of my time working, but I'm enjoying learning how to run a business and get to go to a lot of fun events ….. I spend the rest of my time with friends, family and my cat Şirin which is super important to me! ;-)
My friends are my most valuable treasures and I try to treat them like that …. I believe being loyal and generous is two of the greatest quality a person can have …. I am not a big fan of being politic correct or moralist speeches …. I also believe that each and every individual has the responsibility to make the world a better place not only for the next generation, but today …..

On a less serious note: I like to party as hell and enjoy every minute of my life with all the intensity that I can! ;-) ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let others live.
Better yet if you do enjoy it.
As simple as that.
