Hello, my name is Mustafa. I was born and raised in Istanbul. I originally studied mechanical engineering, but I have spent many years teaching before I recently moved to Bonndorf.

I am an open-minded person. My friends and people around me generally share their experiences or problems with me; I never judge anyone. After all, we are all human. I have a broad range of interests including physics, biology, astronomy, religion, politics, philosophy, and nature.

I love reading books, meeting different people, and making new friends.

Currently, I am dedicating time to improving and learning German.

—— Deutsch

Hallo, mein Name ist Mustafa. Ich bin in Istanbul geboren und aufgewachsen. Ursprünglich habe ich Maschinenbau studiert, aber ich habe viele Jahre als Lehrer gearbeitet, bevor ich vor kurzem nach Bonndorf gezogen bin.

Ich bin eine offene Person. Meine Freunde und die Menschen um mich herum teilen oft ihre Erfahrungen oder Probleme mit mir; ich urteile über niemanden. Schließlich sind wir alle Menschen. Ich habe ein breites Interessensgebiet, das Physik, Biologie, Astronomie, Religion, Politik, Philosophie und Natur umfasst.

Ich liebe es, Bücher zu lesen, verschiedene Menschen kennenzulernen und neue Freunde zu gewinnen.

Derzeit widme ich meine Zeit der Verbesserung und dem Erlernen der deutschen Sprache.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While walking alone in a dangerous neighborhood in Medellin, I was surrounded by people who asked for my phone and money. I managed to chat with them in my broken Spanish and afterwards, they left me alone.

The atmosphere in the underground cave disco in Cuba was very beautiful.

The camps I made in Macedonia.
