I'm currently an aspiring writer living in İstanbul alone and sometimes with my girlfriend. I lived in the US for a year as an exchange student during my studies. I have a bachelors degree in electronics engineering. I was a member of the cave exploration club at my university. Ive done outdoor climbing, kitesurfing, wavesurfing and normal surfing, snowboarded and skiied. I love folktales and have also done interviews with everyday people about their culture. Ive done standup comedy twice (in English). I can the tin whistle (Irish flute) a lil bit. I write and edit our own magazine called flying donkey (ucanessek.com) and have my own blog. I like drawing too.
