I'm Ekrem but you can call me Eko. I was born in 1994 in Istanbul and I've been living in Istanbul since then. I'm an open-minded guy who is really optimistic and positive! I've always dreamed about to leave from my comfort zone and travel the world or at least the Europe on my own. Finally, I made this dream come true by going to the capital of Hungary, Budapest for my erasmus period in 2018. It was an unforgettable year for me as I discovered 4 other countries inc. Austria, Italy, Belgium and France and of course met many people from all around the world. I stayed 4 months in Budapest. During this time, I made new friends with whom I formed strong bonds. It helped me a lot to widen my horizon and improve my communication and language and inter-cultural skills. I feel really lucky to make my wish come true. I graduated from Halic University, department of Translation and Interpreting. I'm really passionate about languages. I love hanging out with my friends. I love running, riding bike, lifting weights and playing football. I like learning new cultures, meeting new people all around the world and tasting traditional foods. Hope to meet you soon! :)
