A curious soul in love with languages, literature, and good food.

Hi! Alma here!
I’m a student and work as a digital content writer and translator in a creative agency. I love anything that has to do with languages and speak English, German, and Turkish fluently. When I’m not working or studying, I'm probably spending time at the climbing gym (and having a blast!), reading a good book, or enjoying a good meal/coffee on my own or with friends. Sport is a new passion of mine and I enjoy spending time trying out different kinds.

I’m big on rock climbing and bouldering and love to spend time in nature. And I am a big fan of CS and all the amazing adventures it has to offer. I’ve met so many wonderful people and learned so much here that it’s hard to imagine not having discovered it.

If you're on CS, you're lucky. Make the most of it. Especially after the pandemic! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rock climbing in nature is one of the most exciting things I've done! I'm still a beginner, and I haven't climbed super exciting routes, but just getting out there and hanging on to those cold stone holds all the way to the very top is simply amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could cook for you (I know a few exciting recipes!), teach you the languages I know, or share stories from my life. I could recommend good books or movies or we could also talk about content marketing if you're interested!
