One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I went boating with my family, the weather was windy and there were enormous waves, we saved a mom with a little kid.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some history and culture of my country, I like to talk about art house and independent cinema a lot.

I want to learn more about German Expressionism in cinema and art.
I'm crazy about Slavic languages and I'm always ready to practice with Russians and learn new stuff from them.

I can share my knowledge about historical places in my town and also the Turkish cuisine. I would love to talk about some of my experiences about sailing and traveling.
