I love learning languages and exploring different cultures! 🌍 My interest in history, especially Turkish and Ottoman history, is something I really enjoy, but books are also a big part of my life 📚. Reading classic authors like Maksim Gorky and Honoré de Balzac inspires me ✨. Right now, I’m focusing on improving my English and I’m excited to meet new people and build friendships! 🤗 In the future, I dream of living abroad for a few years and gaining new experiences 🌏. I’m always eager to learn more and discover new things! 🚀

Music, Movies, and Books

I’ve watched Vikings and Prison Break on Netflix, but I also appreciate deeper literature. Dostoyevsky is one of my favorite authors, whose works explore the complexities of the human soul. I also admire Tolstoy for his profound reflections on life and society.

My interest in Stoicism has shaped my perspective on life, focusing on rationality and endurance.

The Great Gatsby is a film that really captured me, especially with its portrayal of the American Dream.

I’m deeply fascinated by Russian literature, with authors like Dostoyevsky and Maxim Gorky standing out as realists who confront human struggles honestly.

Balzac is another writer I admire. His La Comédie Humaine is a masterpiece of French realism, offering a complex and unembellished view of society and the human experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I can do is to create a memorable experience for my guests. I can prepare a traditional Turkish breakfast, cook upon request, and of course, brew authentic Turkish coffee — something I am quite skilled at. Additionally, I enjoy making great cocktails and setting a pleasant atmosphere with good music. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful stay or a lively conversation, I will do my best to make your experience comfortable and enjoyable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share the spirit of Turkish culture with you. I can tell you about local traditions, daily life, and small cultural details that you might not find in guidebooks. I also enjoy learning about different cultures, so I believe we can create a meaningful exchange and wonderful memories together.

I also offer high-speed internet, a washing machine, a dryer, a hairdryer, an iron, a coffee machine, a TV, a sound system, Netflix, a small library, and an air purifier. Everything is arranged to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible. Please feel free to relax and enjoy!
