CURRENT MISSION See the world in the most original way possible, share stories, enjoy unusual culinary experiences ABOUT ME Photographer, music-listener, food-eater, student-studier... I am currently living in Turkey for 4 months as part of my study abroad experience. I chose Istanbul because it is one of my favorite cities and I had always wanted to go back since visiting it for the first time 3 years ago. Turkey is also a fascinating country that is really changing right now, and I wanted to somewhat experience this process. And finally, Turkey is a perfect place for travelling! Very centrally located to travel, whether East, West, North or South. So far, haven't been disappointed :) PHILOSOPHY "You are what you eat" "Always live in the moment" "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
