The most beautiful stories begin in one of two ways:
either a stranger comes to town, or someone sets out on a journey.

Hello everyone!

I live in an old apartment in Kadıköy, Istanbul, with my cat and sometimes-noisy upstairs neighbors. I painted the walls myself—yellow, blue...
My place is in a great location.

About me: I love reading and watching films. I'm curious, eager to explore and learn. I used to play volleyball in a club, but had to quit due to an injury—and, well, a little bit because of my age too.
Luckily, my green passport came to the rescue, and I started traveling.

I’m currently taking Spanish classes and enjoying the magic of Istanbul.
Traveling and the people I've met through this platform have already taught me so much—and I’m sure they’ll keep teaching me more.

I'm a teacher and a writer—short stories, plays, and lately, screenplays. I'm genuinely open to learning about your cultures. I respect all beliefs and love learning about them.

To me, the human soul isn’t something to be consumed quickly or used up—it’s a principle I live by.
Life has given me many second chances. Now, even a small ray of sunlight is enough to make me happy.

Sometimes, I wander the streets imagining myself as a character from an indie film I’ve watched. Other times, I lose myself in the crowd with my friends.
But at the end of the day, I fall asleep with peace—knowing who I am, what I want, and what I’m waiting for.

I’m so glad I joined this app. I don’t use social media. This place feels more real, and that makes me feel more grounded.

Wishing all of us beautiful memories on our journeys!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went swimming in the sea at night during the blood moon. And I had fallen in love with the magic of nature.

There is only one way to happiness; it is not worrying about things you cannot do anything about.
