Hello guys! I am Shamil from Turkey. Recently I am living in Minsk, Belarus and studying at the faculty of International Relations in Belarusian State University. It is my second university after quitting the first one - history. After living and volunteering 8 months in Slovenia, Belarus was my next destination to get adventure. Traveling is my passion and so far I‘ve been more than 15 countries but I will try my best to explore the rest of the world more till I get tired of it. I speak Turkish, English fluently and Russian in a good level. Studying is endless so would be glad to hang out with you guys like a student! I’d love to meet up with new people! I am searching for nice and charming hosts during my trips and also welcoming the people who visit Minsk. Hope to see you soon.

When I thought who I am or how I can describe myself, I did not find anything to write here if I have to be honest. I just know about myself that I am person who was born in the road while going somewhere. Moving somewhere and being active as much as I can are the main staffs in my life.
