I'm a former computer programmer and Systems Analyst, from the United States currently living in Istanbul Turkey. I have a TESL/TEFL certificate for teaching English, but am not working at the moment. I studied Philosophy, Religious Studies., Comparative Religions (Christianity, Buddhism) and was thinking seriously about becoming a professor in those fields when I was younger. But, alas, the practicalities of life caught up with me, and I decided to take a computer degree instead. I enjoy nature and hiking, meeting people from other countries and making new friends
