One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I skydived (by myself), skin dived 20 m. And jumped from Mostar Old Bridge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can do many ties of scouts blidfold so i can teach them. If somebody teaches me rock climbing techniques it would realy apriciated. And i would like to learn how to play violin one day because i like its sound very much...
And of course i can help anyone who would like to learn Turkish ;-) By the way, i had German speaking lessons at University but almost never practiced after graduation :( and nowadays i am trying to learn Russian. I would like to had conversation with native speakers of these languages even they don't want to stay in my home. But native speakers of other languages... Please do not hesitate you are also more than welcome :)
Almost forgot... You can ask me anything you wonder about my lovely hometown; İstanbul...
Edit: I am living in Izmir but i still adore Istanbul.
