CURRENT MISSION

To Find the Edge of the World

ABOUT ME

I have a certain flair for languages and I'm not bad at singing and painting, either. I enjoy talking about politics, exchanging ideas that challenge 'the establishment'. I also believe it is important not to lose the 'childish curiosity' as you look around yourself and explore things. Finally, I can say I am a very conscientious person and I believe every single one of us has a unique responsibility to improve the way things are.

PHILOSOPHY

Settle for nothing less than the object of your desire (from a poem by Björk)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I interpreted a speech from English to Turkish rendered by a mayor to thousands of people gathered in the most central square of Istanbul. It was broadcast live on TV. I couldn't take any notes as he was speaking cause I had a microphone in my hand. So, I had to memorize everything he had said!
