Hi !
My name is Hande. I live in Geelong/ Australia with my husband Randy.
I am a Phd researcher and working on a theory in design for social integration. I am a humanist and I do care about people a lot. Human rights, animal rights and a greener environment are some of my personal musts. I love travelling and learning about different cultures and traditions. Especially in Australia where many people from different backgrounds live in, I strongly feel how the culture makes us unique.

I also enjoy sports such as hiking, rock climbing, rowing and cycling. I am up to any activities which include nature such as a piece of rock :)

My partner and I often got to Ocean (Some destinations on Great Ocean Road) to do some walking and swimming on out weekends. Unfortunately, we can not travel much at the moment due to out work and study commitments. However, we have some big plans for the future ;)
