Hey there! My name is Gökalp and I am a Civil Engineering MSc student at Ghent University in Belgium. I have stayed in Poland for 6 months in 2017-2018 within the Erasmus program and it was one of the best experiences in my entire life. Now I am experiencing the current best by living in Gent.

Speaking of myself, I can say that I am pretty talkative, I love sharing ideas and getting into new friendships. I am interested in so many things in life as a hobby: learning piano, magic tricks, video editing, programming, camping, collecting coins, chess, learning languages. But my real passions amongst them are basketball, photography and piano. I also enjoy talking about the world history, politics and hearing about different food and cultures.
