ABOUT ME

My name is Nilüfer and I live in Istanbul, Turkey. I am teaching in an international school, which provides me a friendly, fun, and multicultural working environment. As somebody whose biggest passion has been travelling and discovering, I really enjoy working with people from all over the world. Being surrounded by international colleagues and students, I feel like I keep travelling even in those supposedly ‘boring’ working days. What is even better, with 20 weeks holiday a year, this job gives me the oppurtunity to travel for real. Travel for real, yes! That’s what I love the most! I have been to 37 countries so far for touristic, youth exchange, and study purposes. I have lived and studied in Austria and Scotland.

Interests

I love traveling, scuba diving, cycling, photography, playing oud, paragliding, dancing, meeting people, tasting food, learning languages, writing, reading, film-watching and cooking.
