A Japanese living in Istanbul. I came here for Master's program in Conflict Resolution in 2018. I have worked in the humanitarian sector for years. I love travelling, meeting new people, and learning new things. Animals and children are my favorite too :)

Türkçe biliyorum ama geliştirmek istiyorum. Çay, kahve, bira içimeyi ve tavla oynamayı da severim :D YouTube kanalım var. "Türkiye'deki Tek Japon" yazınca çıkar. Tek Japon değilim ama olsun haha

Music, Movies, and Books

Play a traditional string instrument which I learned in Azerbaijan.

I read a lot for classes so prefer not to read in my free time :D

Usually movies only on a plane but I like going to a cinema if I'm with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled, studied, and worked in many different countries. I'm not sure how many countries I've been to but maybe like 20?

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning languages is my hobby. Currently focusing on Turkish but used to learn Azerbaijani, Russian, Persian, Kurdish, French, etc. Unfortunately I forgot most of them though...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Teaching some Japanese? Telling my stories? We will see :)

Countries I’ve Lived In
