About Me

"Keep away from everything and everyone that hurt me!.."

A strict NON-SMOKER, a quite unusual educator teaching a lot of different subjects within English language, and photographer; living -and loving to live- on two-wheels, also good coffee, JAZZ (Nina Simone, Chet Baker, Sarah Vaughan, Bill Evans....!!!) and classical music addict...
A reiki practitioner and an active pacifist. A philotherian; all but especially cats and dogs!!!
And a never-satisfied learner with an insatiable hunger for knowledge; a friendly, open-minded and unprejudiced conversationalist...Hatred, racism, negativity, malice, and lies aren't allowed into my boundaries...
Anyways, ask those who claim they know me...still not sure... :)
I love life and sharing all I have! still believe in HUMANITY!!!!

PHILOSOPHY
I'm still a dreamer who still believes we can change this bloody world!
I LIVE TO LEARN AND TO TEACH ALL I KNOW...

Interests

GlobeRiding, traveling, photography, books; poetry, calligraphy/typography, theater, performance arts, dance, mtbiking, extreme sports, mountains, natureeeeeee....

OKOKOKOKKKKK...With the neverending insistence of the PUBLIC on me to declare what a gorgeous cook I am, I decided to accept to declare this fact!!! :D
OK! WELL! What can I do? I AM! hehehehheheheeeee!
I love good food, I love trying new and good food, I love trying to cook good food, and I love cooking for friends... ;)
I can say I am not bad at esp. turkish-greek cuisine, (esp. mezzes; dolmades, etc!!):), and soups (esp. fish soup-of gurnard!), and burger specialties (as I prefer not to eat meat that much!), but the only thing I have no idea in the kitchen are the desserts! (anyway, isn't it better not to have them? useless calories, fats and sugar....;))

hope to meet for dinner one day...

Music, Movies, and Books

Here are some movies that really inspired me recently! such as...

"Das Leben der Anderen", "Time", "Her" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"!..
The Grand Budapest Hotel and all by Wes Anderson!!! A truly and intelligently humorous director!
The Linklater series of Before Sunshine; Before Sunset; Before Midnight!
Midnight in Paris, for giving me a crazy inspiration...
My best of all times cliche for my susceptibility to everything irish and love and romance: P.S. I love you...
"Cinema Paradiso"; one of my best of all times!
"500 days of Summer" and "Ruby Sparks" given me good thoughts and moments!!!
"Hugo" for my childish curiosity and determination!
and "dedemin insanları-the people of my grandpa", for my humane aspect and hopefulness...(that's all for now! :) )

classical music, JAZZZZZZ!!!!, world music...
KAFKA, GOETHE, Dostoevsky, Zweig, Jean Genet, Lautreamont (Isidore Ducasse),
BOURDIEU, ADORNO!!! For sure Irvin Yalom and Elias Canetti!! Eagleton, Barthes, quite a lot of contemporary authors, try to read sociology and politics as much!- and arts!!! poetry for sure...neruda, lorca, nazım hikmet, boudelaire, kavafis (cavafy), e.e. cummings, and EMILY DICKINSON for sure!!!!.....and more...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm and happy to be a magnet person that attracts interesting people and stories... So, as everything comes to me with stories, it's my pleasure to share nice conversations with my new friends, as well as my knowledge of photography, literature and experiences on the roads... :)
