Hi there! My name is Gorkem and I am currently living in Istanbul after spending 3 years in California (San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County).
I'd be a little cliche here and say that I'm an very open minded and easy going guy with some sense of humour, but nowadays everybody got these words in his profile description so here are some more random words: creative, geeky, sarcastic, an excellent guide and open minded and easy going :)
Also like every single one of you guys I like traveling around the world. I've been in many countries and I'm familiar with many cultures.
