Hi! I’m Hazal. I studied International Relations with dream of being an ambassador but when I graduated I noticed that my passion is meeting new people, learning new cultures, visiting different countries, not being a political figure. So after graduating I did totally different things than politics like working in an event management department for a NGO, volunteering in international dance festivals, food banks in Turkey and I also did my EVS (European Voluntary Service) volunteering in Poland before the lovely pandemic came. Finally I worked as an AuPair in Germany for one year and now studying Digital Technology and Management again in Germany. I have B1 level German but I would love to improve it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ahh books 🤦🏻‍♀️ I love reading but since I’m moving a lot, I can’t carry enough of them with me and because of I’m kind a broke (for centuries) I was never able to buy an e-book reader (hopefully it is how it’s called 😬), so my favorite book is still the Alchemist, because I’m not able to read the ones I want to read . (Please don’t suggest me to go to library. Reading in English is too boring for me and it’s hard to find good, not overrated Turkish books in Germany’s libraries)

I love the BoJack Horseman 🧡

As I mentioned before, I moved a lot, so I left all my friends and family in other countries/cities, and music accompanying me a lot when I feel happy, sad or alone, so it really depends on my mood 🤷🏻‍♀️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked in Norway. From Oslo to Bergen and from Bergen to Oslo (960 km in total).

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been dancing for 13 years. I worked as a Turkish Folk Dance teacher for different ages and in different organizations. I had an oriental dance class in Poland during my EVS volunteering. If anyone interested in Turkish traditional dances, I can teach. Also I tried handball, volleyball, running and bocce. I’m a good partner in any sport.
