Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Time is short. The World is Big. Travel as much as possible and live!
ABOUT ME
I am a philosophy master student in Bogazici University, İstanbul. I graduated from translation and interpreting studies department. Ideas thanks to new books, places and people make me happy. I love travelling and experiencing the new :) Meeting you, hearing you ideas or visiting your country will enrich my soul! Contrary to my work (book translating) which requires sitting all the day, I love moving and moving around the world!
My blog in Turkish: http://yolmatika.blogspot.com/
Now I live in the dormitory of the university but I would like to help any friends visiting Istanbul and try to show them nice places of the city so that they will like the city and not be cheated by tourist-preyers :)
PHILOSOPHY
As Sartre says, existence comes before essence. We have the responsibility to construct our own essence. Being open to new experiences and moving all the time constructs our essence :) Live wise and live to be wise! People make you wise! Travelling make you wise!
