I am Elif Deniz Atay from Turkey. I was born in İzmir (in my opinion, it is the most beautiful and modern city in Turkey) and lived here until i was 19.
After i got into university, i moved the capital of Turkey, Ankara and i am still living in this city and studying at Middle East Technical University, in the department of international relations. I really like my department because i am interested in the world’s issues and politics.
Also, i like learning languages and communicate with new people. I can call myself as a fun and social person because i like going outside with my friends.
In addition to these, i am doing sports actively and every stage of my life,i am interested in different kinds of it, like swimming,volleyball and walking, but my favourite one is swimming. Nearly, until my early chilhood, i am swimming, not so professionally but i learnt everything myself because in the summers, i was staying in my grandma’s home taht is next to the seaside. With the new semester in my university, i want to start sailing or paragliding.☺
Besides, i like travelling new places and learn about the new cultures and history.
