One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Clouds of Vancouver, I observed that every geographical place in the world had different types of clouds, and those of Vancouver were beautiful and special (I also have other personal reasons to give such meaning to that location)... Walking on the Frozen Baltic Sea... Bookstores of Helsinki... Being on stage, dancing or singing... Narrow streets of Sevilla, like a labyrinth...

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn how to live, and encounter different lives that exist on earth. I would like to be inspired from them and be amazed, learn new languages, ask and answer..
We can sing together... I can teach how to cook some Turkish food, teach Turkish, share the things I know, learn and have.
