Hi! I’m İsmail, a 21-year-old student from Türkiye. I’m currently studying gastronomy and culinary arts and doing my Erasmus in Budapest. I love exploring new cultures, meeting people from different backgrounds, and of course—trying and cooking new foods!
I’m originally from Kütahya, now living in İzmir. I’m easy-going, open-minded, and always curious to learn more about people and the world.
