CURRENT MISSION

Building bridges...

ABOUT ME

A friend. A traveller. A thinker. A dancer. A books lover (quite critical actually). A giude in Istanbul. A daughter. A dreamer. A student forever. A killer of flowers. An explorer of cultures. A mountaineer. An experimenter in the kitchen. A biker. A world observer. Intollerant towards intollerance... improvidence and stupidity. And ostentation... Living for the stories of the people. For the small things and the small beauties in the world.
If there is something I'm afraid of - this is the possiblity to ever lose my memories.
Just an ordinary person...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- A Turkish speaking Cypriote girl and a Greek speaking Cypriote boy sang a song together during a Balkan night at the summer school of anthropology in Konitsa (Greece), 2012. They sang a couplet in each language, one after another, and the chorus they sang together with the dedication "One Cyprus!".

- An old lady and an old man, both in their 70s, showed me once what it means to share your life with somebody.
