For as long as I can remember, I have been deeply passionate about almost every branch of sports. My sports journey started by playing football in the streets of Izmir. Later on I discovered taekwondo and completed this sport with a red black belt after years of dedication. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to experience different disciplines like kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. These days I regularly do fitness and continue to play football on the pitch whenever I get the chance. My love for sports does not stay only on the field — I also follow the games with great excitement as a devoted Galatasaray fan.
Another passion that is just as central to my life as sports is music. I absolutely love picking up any kind of guitar to explore new tunes and singing along as much as my voice allows. Besides these, learning new languages gives me a unique kind of joy. Thanks to my precious teachers in public schools, I can speak English as comfortably as my mother tongue. After taking two semesters of Spanish in college, I became so attached to the language that I currently have a streak of over 800 days on Duolingo and I am eagerly continuing to learn. In my spare time, I take great pleasure in reading books on etymology, anthropology and general history to explore different worlds.
