Hi, I’m Emre, a friendly and curious soul based in Amsterdam and Hoogkarspel, Netherlands! 🌍 I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2013 and have had the privilege of working and living in different countries. I started my career as a mathematician, teaching at international schools for 3 years before moving to the Netherlands in 2017.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring the hidden gems of this beautiful city, having deep conversations about life, or experimenting in the kitchen (yes, I love to cook!). Whether it’s a spontaneous adventure or a cozy night in, I’m all about creating meaningful connections and sharing authentic experiences.
