Currently, I’m living in Darica (a district in Kocaeli that borders Istanbul). I've been in Turkiye since early 2021. To be honest, Turkiye was never part of my dream destination because, professionally, I’m a language teacher. I teach Sundanese, Indonesian, English, Spanish, and Thai, so my dreams were always to live in one of those countries; Spain, Thailand, or somewhere in Latin America. In 2019, I even lived in Thailand. However, coming to Turkiye, by my own choice, after many failed attempts to secure an opportunity in Latin America, completely changed my life. Turkiye has transformed me. ❤️🇹🇷🇮🇩

By nature, I’m an extrovert, especially when I’m around people who share the same energy as I do. I love exploring historical and cultural places, as well as the beauty of nature. I also love singing and dancing; you’ll often catch me doing both! 🎶💃 I consider myself a 'music traveler,' meaning I have a playlist for songs in many languages from around the world (not all, but quite a few!). Lastly, I’m passionate about languages and cultures, and I always love learning more.
