What do you like best about Turkey?
Its people, and how historically and culturally rich the country is.
Are there any similarities between your culture and Turkey’s?
Yes, our cultures are very similar.
What will you miss most about Turkey/Bilkent?
I’ll miss all the beautiful places, people and memories.
Why Turkey?
Turkish has always been a language I wanted to learn, and Turkey was always a place I wanted to visit.
Where do expect to see yourself in 10 years?
I believe a smart person never plans his life too far ahead, as life is very unpredictable; a single moment is capable of changing the way you look at things. I therefore choose to live in the moment.
What is the hardest challenge you’ve overcome in Turkey?
Definitely the language barrier!
What cities have you visited in Turkey? Which one do you like the best?
I’ve visited İstanbul, Eskişehir, Kuşadası, Amasra and Safranbolu. İstanbul is without doubt my favorite; it has everything that a perfect city should have.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I do, but they wouldn’t be hidden anymore if I published them in the newspaper.
What is one question you are asked frequently or the most interesting comment you’ve heard?
“Are you Turkish?”
