About Me
CURRENT MISSION
If you want to be happy, be! -- Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy
ABOUT ME
Well, I am software engineer.
I am interested in different countries, different cultures and all of the people on Earth!
I love involving in multicultural-intercultural projects and activities.
I promised to myself that I would walk on streets of different cities whenever I find enough time. And I am a woman of my word!
While I am traveling to new places, I use my camera a lot and I like trying traditional cuisine and drinks and learning at least few sayings in the country's language.
I also like making friends from all over the world.
PHILOSOPHY
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

Interests
I realized that it becomes harder to find a really interesting person for me. No offense. I know we are each unique and special but we are really so alike...
I would like to meet the ones who are nice and comforting towards people, are talking nicely to others, trying to see anything good about anyone. I know there exist people flirting with any earthling and making them happy. It is just hard to find them :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Each day I travel has the potential of being amazing. As Eugene Hutz says:
And as we're crossing border after border
We realize that difference is none
It's underdogs who, and if you want it
You always have to make your own fun
Teach, Learn, Share
I like language tandem. I can serve with English and Turkish and I am interested in learning Russian and German.
In Vienna, I took part in many cooking events and both cooked and learned how to cook traditional dishes from other countries. Well, it might be a good chance to try how much I learned and got experience. In short: I can cook for you. - vegetarian only ;)
I can also help you with programming and computer science.. haha :D
