Overview
About Me
I am a 21-year-old Turkish student living in Madrid, Spain.
I study communication and want to be a journalist/shoot documentaries in the future.
Traveling for me is a thing I can't keep myself away from, the lust to explore lives in every piece of my being.
I was born in Istanbul and can tell without hesitation that it is my favorite city.
I learned Italian throughout my high school and when I was 17 I moved to Argentina for a year where I learned Spanish and lived with a local family in beautiful Patagonia.
My host family became like a real one they changed my life around and I haven't stopped to explore since.
Now I live in Spain going to university in a great city called Segovia and it has been a joyful ride :) I love the Spanish culture and dancing till my feet hurt so adapting to Spain was a piece of cake.
Now, with my student budget, I travel as much as I can to enjoy Europe.
I like many things; cooking is one.
Good music and dancing are two (but I mean who doesn't?)
Photography and visual creation are three.
I can windsurf! and I try to meditate and do yoga as much as I can.
I love psychology and having discussions around it.
I love animals and think that every life is sacred.
