Overview
About Me
Hello from Türkiye! Where you can see the sun always 🇹🇷 ☀️
I’m currently a PhD student in Political Science and International Relations in Kyiv (I won a scholarship)
I am working an association for young and adult people with disabilities. ♿️
Besides English, I can also speak Russia and Kazakh Languages. I don’t smoke and not a fan of alcohol.
I worked as a kindergarten teacher for children with disabilities, so I get along very well with both kids and young people.
I’m vegetarian and currently involved in ecological projects. My master’s thesis was focused on renewable energy and its development in cooperation with European countries.
I love hiking and spending time in nature. When I travel, I usually enjoy visiting libraries, universities, and museums so you don’t have to worry, I don’t stay out late! 😄
Over the past three years, I’ve mastered the art of sleeping on couches.
I use LinkedIn instead of Instagram.
If there’s an emergency, you can contact me. Right now, I can’t host anyone because I’m traveling and my schedule is uncertain.
Here’s my WhatsApp number: +905550406433
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Since I've been involved in tourism for a long time, I truly enjoy meeting and communicating with people from different countries. That's why this app is really essential for me. I haven't been active for a while, but I'm here now! :)
Interests
I am a Strategic Researcher Who Has Recently Started Journalism Education Focusing on International Relations, Especially Eurasia and Central Asian Countries. I began my career by gaining knowledge and experience in journalism through interviews with experts.
In addition to my journalism education, my interest in political science has led me to conduct more in-depth research in this field. Through fieldwork and strategic analysis, I continuously enhance my abilities to understand and explain the complexity of international relations.
By connecting with me, you can engage in information exchange and conduct written interviews on topics related to international relations, Eurasia, Central Asian countries, journalism, and strategic analysis.
I am actively present on LinkedIn to expand my professional network in the fields of international relations and strategic analysis. By connecting with me, you can access shared information in these areas and explore more opportunities.
I look forward to collaborating with you and sharing developments in the world of international relations. I am here on LinkedIn to connect.
I graduated from Khodja Akhmet Yessewi University Master's degree in International Relations. My project was about Ethnic Origins in Kazakhstan.
For this reason, I am interested in the Eurasian countries. I have lived in Ukraine and Russia for many years. I have been involved in various Tourism and Youth work in these countries. I am learning Kazakh Language.
