I’m Ali from Turkey and living in Sakarya. I work as a lawyer in an office. I also study PhD in private law. I like helping people who comes from different countries. I’m always open to learn something about different cultures.

I’m football addicted. I love football in every single aspect. I love talking, watching, playing, reading and writing about football. If you are interested in football, hosting you will be a pleasure. Galatasaray is the club which I’m supporting.

I have long working hours and lots of activities and work to do, so I don't offer a guide but if I have time I can help you out. I don’t have strict rules at home or in life in general, if you have some respect, no way to have a problem.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind and humble as much as possible and always keep your promises.
