About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having friends from all around the world.Im spiritually nomadic, working to live my best life. I'm living like a stranger in my motherland. I'm searching the meaning of life for others in the other lands.

ABOUT ME

Im a primary school teacher in Istanbul. I enjoy my job so much, I know how much responsibilities I have. I admire kids' simple thinkings.They sometimes can say something very natural without filtering it and it makes you think twice on it.
Plus my job i love travelling, languages,my nephews.
I enjoy going to galleries and reading books,listening jazz music,doing some sports.

As a teacher i love my summer breaks. I can go wherever I want and live there for short time but for most of the people it's long;)
I settle down in a European city and try to involve into locals' life and see how locals are living in this different country,city and culture. Today I know how much open-wise I became and thanks to my short time livings in a different cities on my 2 month summer breaks.
I lived in Ottawa 2014 for 2 months, Valencia 2015 for 2 months - 2016 for 2 months in Spain than i lived in London in 2017 for 2 months on my summer breaks.
When I go back to be a teacher. I feel much more knowledge, confidence,international mind set after my experiences.Its all about doing the best on what you do and reach your inner happiness. I like to task risks on my job such as I like to find ways to reshape the curriculum to create more aware and critical generations.

I like to share my traveling photos on

I did my master on teaching Turkish as a foreign language in 2018..
I teach Turkish to foreigners through skype as a second job now. I can help anyone who is interested in learning Turkish.

Yo quiero hacer que los niños piensen más, miren más, observen más, conozcan más. Necesitamos un mundo mejor.por eso es importante la educación de las nuevas generaciones.

Si no lo cuentas no es verano 👌🏿
