CURRENTLY IN RUSSIA, SO NO WHATSAPP, NO TELEGRAM, NO EVEN CS WORKS HERE... WILL BE AVAILABLE BY THE END 2026 🗺️ Who I Am My life has been one of fascinating transitions. For over a decade, my profession was luxury fashion—working as a stylist and brand manager for names like Gucci and Bulgari, and running a large fashion production business. Now, my passions are yoga, AI development, and travel. I am a Kundalini Yoga Teacher and a newly dedicated student of Artificial Intelligence. Due to recent health concerns, I paused my yoga teaching to focus on AI development (specifically in Telegram) and my academic studies. My life has been truly global: I have lived in six countries across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and even Africa, and I've explored every region in two of the largest nations. I currently hold a doctoral degree, two master's degrees, and a degree in yoga. 🧘 Philosophy and Travel Style My philosophy is simple: "It is the courage to continue that counts." I believe in constantly exploring new perspectives, whether through yoga, new continents, or new technologies. I love exploring the world, but in recent years, I prefer to work less and travel more. I appreciate genuine connections, deep conversations, and learning about local cultures. I was based in Turkey from August 2020 to Dec 2023 (for almost 3 years) and managed to visit over 30 districts across the country! 🤝 A Note on Connection Please read this carefully: No Friend Requests before we Meet: I do not add people to my network until we have met in person. Not a Dating App: I do not use Couchsurfing as a platform for dating (Tinder/Bumble). I am here for travel, culture, and friendship only.
