About Me

UPDATE 2025.January.5

Still figuring out what to do with my life, exploring new places, new cities, streets, neighborhoods, life's getting a bit professional too :)

UPDATE 2023.4.23.

Now that back from 1 year erasmus in Barcelona partying and all that crazy stuff, back in town, istanbul
Got a beautiful place with bro and now im heading to south america in 1 year
wish me some luck!

***UPDATED***
Currently I’m living with my brother -we’re just like 2 so-close friends-
I couldn’t respond to any message or solicitation for a long time and now that I am back, waiting for travellers all around the world, everybody is welcomed here 🙏 except for the ones who doesn’t a sense of respect.
It’s now my 4th year at the university, I’d like to find a way to live in Spain and then in Italy, since I’m in love with those cultures and countries and people themselves, it looks way easier for me to live in those 2 I mentioned: since, their cultures are very similar to mine.
I’m an art and book addict, most of the time whilst i’m alone I go to unique libraries of my beautiful city, Istanbul, and do lots of research. I am into art house, I can offer you some of the best ones from Turkish directors. I am very easygoing and talkative, I could talk with you about each topic willingfully, but to decide what: Philosophy, Cultures, Languages, and anything fun!
I’m here living by the sea, there’s a great view from my house - bosphorus- I’m also offering that, hope to meet beautiful, kind people here!
***UPDATED on 13th of October,2019***

What I’ve written before:
I love travelling, meeting locals of the places I visit. I think it is the best way to feel the culture, feel the city itself. I am easygoing and cheerful person :)

My house is not right at the center but be sure you will love it since it is by the sea. -bosphorus- We can do many things together such as: Talking about everything, see beautiful places of Istanbul, tasting the most delicious kebabs and other traditional foods of Turkey 😋 I can also cook for you as much as I can :) I am into eating food, travelling, talking philosophy and playing football: These are the things I feel very happy during the time I do them :)

I learn Spanish, I know english well and surely Turkish is my native language. So I can teach you Turkish and also we can practice and communicate in Spanish and English.
