About Me

I am a brave/crazy witch who left a comfortably numb life in İstanbul to chase my dream at magical Finland -the country that I am in love for 14 years!

And you know what? I made it!

I have a job in virtual reality company as marketing manager, took my cat from İstanbul, have a lovely home and a loving boyfriend. I was a solo traveler back then and now it's time to discover the world with Hannes and share the experience!

Movies that I watched at least 5 times: Stigmata, Only Lovers Left Alive, Corpse Bride, Crow,

Books: I like historical and melancholic books actually. For art history influence, I prefer to read Dan Brown. For horror books, I like Stephen King.

And lately, I read Neil Gaiman / Norse Mythology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving my comfort zone, taking the risk and moving to Finland by myself only with my tourist visa, finding a job and start from the scratch!

The best craziest thing I have ever done!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some Turkish and (Hannes can teach some Finnish)

I can share my stories, cook Turkish food for you!

Hannes is a baker (sugar baker) SO GET READY TO GET FAT! Imagine that fresh bread smell in the morning, all the buns, cakes you could eat...
