I'm an academic in the school of medicine in Istinye University, Istanbul. I usually go to work around 9 or 10 and get out late again. But I use Friday and Saturday nights to have fun for all week. So, even though my home is within my eyesight, it is usually empty. People think about me as a very cheerful, funny and friendly person. They don't know I am a part-time superhero at nights. I'am willing to meet new people from all around the world. You can check me on IG: hakandar

One Amazing Thing I've Done
- Sleeping on the beach 600 miles away from home, without any money. - Camping on the wrong place (country border) and getting into custody. - Getting drunk on the first day in Germany with people I just met and without phone charge and any clue where my hotel is :P - Night safari in Singapore - Paragliding
Teach, Learn, Share
I do teach Embryology and Stem Cell Biology along with Anthropology, Human evolution and Astrophysics (Yeah. All of them). I also learn everything that I teach cause science never stops evolving. I love to learn about people, their experiences, world view, and countries. Teaching is sharing what you have.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can offer a room with a wide coach. They can eat whatever food I have. I can also share a long good conversation and experiences along with my friendship :)
My Interests
Science, medicine, astrophysics, anthropology, and movies. Yes, I am a science geek but a highly social and funny one with two laboratories and a team.
