CURRENT MISSION

Teaching English in Istanbul, mastering Turkish language, and exploring Turkey

ABOUT ME

Hi! I recently graduated in anthropology. After getting the TEFL certificate and doing a short internship in South India I started working in Istanbul. Last year I worked in kindergarten and this year I teach English in grades 5 and 6 of a private school in Istanbul. In the weekends I like to visit places in Istanbul, have a stroll, drink coffee or tea, have dinner with friends, sit in a park, etc. I'm also trying to travel through Turkey whenever I can.
