About Me

PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL IGNORE ALL UNPERSONAL MESSAGES AND REQUESTS!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a half German half Turkish girl, and I just came back to Istanbul after living 3 years in the Basque Country, Spain. I have graduated in Spanish Filology and I am teaching Spanish, German and Turkish as foreign languages. I'm in love with the Spanish, Basque and the Latin American culture.

I would say that I have a nomadic life as I live between Turkey, Germany and Spain. When you move so much, you learn to content yourself with few things. That's why I don't like to own many materials and I am happy with the most basic things in life: good FOOD, good MUSIC, good COMPANY and the NATURE.

I am a veeeery curious person and I always try to understand people properly. So be prepared for many questions about your culture, language etc haha! I also love people who are intelligent enough yo make me laugh out loud.

I can have times in which I can party, dance and flow (only to good music) with tons of people together; but at the same time I don't have any problem in spending time on my own and just calm down. I enjoy to read, to have a walk in the nature or the city or go on trips by myself.
