About Me

"Instead of resisting to changes, surrender. Let life be with you, not against you. If you think ‘My life will be upside down’ don’t worry. How do you know down is not better than upside?" Shams Thabrizi

That's the quote summarizing my view and that keeps me going whenever I face some difficulties.
Down side has always ended up offering me something better.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not a movie or book critic but I could speak about books and movies all day and I wouldn't get bored. Don't know about you, though :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I caught a fish with my bare hands in the river Volga! I have witnesses and even a full video on action!

I've jumped in an ice hole and I loved it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a professional teacher. First of all I can teach English in a professional way if your English is not good enough.

I love cooking and you'll love it if you haven't tried any Anatolian cuisine food. I could have been a chief if I had discovered this part of me before starting to study literature.

Georgia, Greece, Russian Federation, Turkey

Russian Federation, Turkey, United States
