ABOUT ME

Thats not easy, honestly who can talk about himself like looking from outside, unbiasedly? According to this, I really believe to be an open-minded person and very thankful to people who criticize me.

I born and grew up in Balikesir which is a nice and small town located on the west part of my country. After high school I moved on and came to Istanbul to study more. I got an economics degree from a reputable university (which can be said in Ivy league of TR) During college years i was really interested in economics so I found myself as an economics club president after a while which also had influanced my whole life. After graduation i started to work for a science magazine as an editor(actually I had a connection while studying). I focused on problems of globalization and developing countries, after 2 and a half year work, and disappointment in master, i went to complete my military obligation. and finally after a short journey (it took a year actually) to New York, now I'm working as a compliance auditor for a british company.

Thats also a tough one, hmmmm, words about me..
happy to meet people all around the world, sharing stories, life experiences or sometimes just a beer(at least:) passion to read and explore, learn from different cultures, discover the diversity(enjoy:), like playing basketball, volleyball, swimming, love music (espically mixture rthyms eastern melodies with western instiruments, and gypsies, and solo guitar, and dancing through the night.. Very friendly with alcahol, like beer, vodka and some coctails but espically love tequila.. ametaur photographer(canon club) and scuba diver... proud to be a professional street walker of istanbul (enjoying loneliness with camera:( :) have an interest for anti global movements, global warming and enviromental issues(member of the nature society of TR) but not a good activist unfortunately.
