About Me

When asked 'where are you from?' I always think twice before I answer. I guess the right answer is Istanbul because I lived there for 19 years but I don't look like a typical Turk at all. So this is when I get surprised looks and I have to explain.. actually, I should just say I'm a world citizen. Or maybe I'm still looking for my true home. Anyways what I can say for sure is that I grew up and spent my whole childhood in this beautiful country called Turkey. But I'm Swiss and was born somewhere in the Swiss alps... And then I lived in South Korea longer than in my own father's and mother's country. It's complicated. Anyhow, I think you can figure I'm a guy who likes to be a little everywhere. And I picked up a few languages on the road, too. Let's meet soon :)
