Hi Everyone,

It's definitely not that easy to tell about oneself, but I will try my best. I'm a calm person who loves to communicate with people from different cultures. I studied English linguistics at college and then I received my MBA degree in US.

Studying, working and travelling for 5 years in US, enabled me to spend time in culturally diversified environments and meet all kinds of greatest people from all around the world.

Therefore, after all I have experienced in life, I have always felt like what makes me most happy is getting to know different cultures, different people and different lives.

Coming back to Turkey and settling down in Istanbul and becoming a corporate slave made my life a little boring. Shortly, thats why I am here, make my life more fun.

During weekdays I spend 8 hours everyday at my office and on weekends, I like to meet new people and try to do some outdoor stuff if I can.

My Apartment is pretty small, It is in a residence on the 10th floor, but right on a very busy street in the center of Istanbul, you can find everything (Shopping malls, hospital, grocery stores) around the apartment. There is also a terrace of the apartment with a view of the city where you can relax. There is also a gym, karaoke and playstation rooms within the residence.

Looking forward to meet you all :)

Música, películas y libros

Right now my favorite Music is what James Blunt does. I love most kinds of music, mostly listening alternative rock. I used to play in a band when I was in high school. My favorite book is EARTH - A visitors Guide to Human Race- by Jon Stewart. Currently I am reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. Yes, I am very interested in Human Kind Living on Earth :) (Really Curious about aliens, too)
