About Me

Hi! :)I am a born and bred California girl, but my roots trace back to Turkey on my mother's side and Italy and Hungary on my father's side.I consider myself to be a hard worker, and I always put 100% of my efforts into everything that I do. During high school, I played volleyball and ran track and cross country, and I also studied very hard, graduating with a 4.45 GPA. I then attended UCLA and majored in Italian with special fields French, and I minored in Spanish. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA, Magna Cum Laude standing, and at graduation I was granted membership to the Phi Beta Kappa Honor society.I am really interesting in traveling and learning about other people and cultures. I have been to the US, Canada, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey, Romania, The Netherlands, UK, Egypt, and Kenya.I love to learn languages, and I can speak, read, and write English, Turkish, French, Italian, and Spanish.I love exercise, being outdoors and going for long drives. I prefer to be driven rather than driving myself! I like extreme activities like white water rafting and snowboarding, and I have even gone bungee jumping and sky-diving.I am currently living in Istanbul, Turkey, and I am working for a prominent bank as the department coordinator of the International Business Development Team.One of my strongest passions is for animals, and I plan to spend a significant amount of time in Africa volunteering with animals before finally settling down.

My Interests

I enjoy reading, working out, watching television and movies, going for walks, traveling, hanging out with friends, and people watching.

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty much open to meeting anyone. I'd love to reconnect with old friends with whom I've lost touch!

Television:

I think my favorite show of all time would be Seinfeld, and I also really like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Family Guy, and Sex and the City.

Books:

Confessions of an Economic Hitman - John Perkins The Illiad and The Odyssey - Homer All Greek tragedies Garfield comics always make me smile! :)
