Hey ! I am Irmak, 29 years old and living in Washington DC for 3 years now! I am originally from Istanbul, Turkey. I studied at UVa and am working now as an architectural designer.
I love traveling around and meeting new people and enjoying to get to know new cultures. I lived in Rome for one year during my undergrad, and also did an exchange program at Auburn University here in the U.S.

I love languages, I speak Italian , English and Turkish. I am always interested in learning more!

I am very musical person that you can find me singing everywhere! I love musical theatre and opera! unfortunately not playing any instruments, except some ukulele (yes ikr..)

Enjoying the moment is the priority for me and I am not a big "organized" person with bunch of lists to do. Traveling means more like sharing and having new adventures instead of tourists` must -to-do lists. I love people who loved and enjoy the life.

Some of my hobbies are working out, playing tennis and skiing. I love dancing ( my friends are already suffering from my latin playlists every time we come together ..) I am into analogue photography, especially black and white.

Excited for the next adventure!
