Hello helloo! I’m Öf (Ömer Faruk). I’m a Bioinformatician working as a lecturer at a university. I studied in England and stayed there for about 8 years and then moved to Germany to work as a postdoc in Aachen. Now in Istanbul after a long time (as a big fan of Istanbul). I’d say I’m laidback, easygoing, openminded and sociable but please feel free to experience yourself ;) I’m happy to host people (up to 2 as my apartment is quite small). So can’t wait to meet cool people from all over the world to explore more.
