Hi, I am Aysenur! 25 years old girl from Turkey who lives in Porto, Portugal right now. I am working with people with disabilities as a volunteer and I will be in Porto until February. Apart from my work, I am trying to travel as much as I can because my dream is traveling around the world and discovering new cultures :) So far, I have visited New York, Lisbon, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Brussels and I am looking for new spots! So I can say that I am on my way to make my dreams true😎

Lets talk a little bit about my educational background :) In my undergraduate education, I completed Science Education so I am Science Teacher and I teach Physics, Chemistry and Biology for secondary school students. In 2018, I was volunteer teacher in New York and I worked with children who have disadvantaged life conditions and it was a wonderful experience for me.

I am currently master student in Turkey and my field is Educational Science, Adult Education. Right now I am working on my thesis study which is about Mentoring Relationships. If you want to learn and talk about mentoring, we can go deep into details!

I believe in Lifelong Learning and also I can describe myself as Lifelong Learner :)

For me the life is all about discovering! If you want to discover something together, I am ready for it!
