About Me

I personally see myself as a guest in this world and try to be charmful and thankful. Gratefully, I am married to a woman who has a similar mindset. So, we both travel and enjoy life as much as we can. On the other hand, I am an enthusiastic researcher currently pursuing my PhD Program at the University of Münster. After completing my undergraduate from Turkey, I moved to India for my first MA Program at Jawaharlal Nehru University between 2012-2014. My next step was Istanbul where I had my second MA. Then, I moved to Germany to pursue my academic carrier. My wife currently studies Social Service and learn German. We both are dedicated to learn, share and enjoy.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An amazing thing I've done was I had an incredible trip to South India which was full of fun :) Nothing was planned, I just pushed myself to travel all over India through a long journey via local trains. Sometimes, I found myself in a small village in a city of India and mixed with Indian local people without knowing their language, just communicating via body language which was the adventure of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share many things regarding my experiences in Turkey, India, Middle East and Europe and talk about customs, culture, religion, and politics. But I am very much interested in learning something new from people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge of sociology and my experience of observing different culture.
