As someone who has travelled to more than a hundred countries, I understand that my purpose in this world is to discover new people, places and cultures. I have made and continue to make very good friends in many geographies from Italy to Germany, from England to Ukraine or from China to Argentina. Life is very beautiful with people, of course not without tea, wine and books 😊😉

I live up to my name, as everyone who knows me says. (Umut means hope)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like music and listen anything good...

Books are my favorite, read already all classics. I have many favorite authors but Stefan Zweig and Yaşar Kemal little bit more ...

Of course I like movies too

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped out of the plane with a parachute, I had a very impressive bungee jumping experience in Greece, I witnessed the beauty of the sunrise in Nemrut and I am saving more for our chats

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Turkish, English, making business or make your company better or international. Also if you have interest, i can teach some traditional Gaziantep foods 😉

I am open to anything you want to teach, but you should know that I am so incompetent in music and dance that I will be on your "worst" list 😬

I am trying to make best cider at home, anyone wants to help me?
