CURRENT MISSION

to learn =)

ABOUT ME

I'm a grad student at Ege University, in Izmir. I'm 23 years old, but feel like much younger, or childer more precisely =P This is my first year in Medical Faculty. My department is Medical Biochemistry. I'm graduated from Biochemistry Dept., but i'm specialized in Biotechnology.

I know English, a little bit Spanish, and a few words and songs in Italian and French.

I've been attending international youth workcamps in Europe since 2008 summer. I've been to Italy, France and Spain until now, and i'll be in south France this summer, for a workcamp again, which is voluntary and just for public interest.

I love to communicate with different people from different nationalities. I love to learn about new cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens is to learn. To learn is the best and only thing that we have in this world. That's my philosophy.

And when it comes to all of us, as we said again and again at the workcamp in France: "ALL DIFFERENT, BUT ALL TOGETHER!" =)
