Hello,

My name is Mehmet Ali Özkaya, and I am 23 years old. I graduated from the Turkish Language Teaching Department at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University last year. I am now ready to pursue my dreams.

My aspirations involve visiting the Central Asian countries where our Turkish ancestors migrated to, and improving my proficiency in Kazakh and Kyrgyz languages to communicate with the local people. Upon arrival, I aim to engage in conversations with the descendants of our Turkish ancestors in their native languages, exchanging knowledge about our shared culture and history. Additionally, I am eager to prepare Turkish dishes for them and sample their traditional cuisine.

Due to my interest in Turkish history and culture, I take pleasure in discussing and sharing information about Turkish history. Although I am a recent graduate and my financial situation is limited, I would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to be hosted and supported.

Best regards,
Mehmet Ali Özkaya
