About

I live as a single in Istanbul since december 2004. I am working as Language Teacher for private lessons. As a certified running trainer, I am organizing running work-outs for expats and Turkish citizens in Istanbul. The running work-outs are taking place in the Belgrad Forest, Ma莽ka-park and ENKA Athletics Center. I also work with individuals in preparations for long-distance races. I started a vegetarian dinnerservice for sportsmen/women in the Beyo臒lu-area. I work as a guide for small groups beyond the hotspots of Istanbul. In my free time I enjoy walking around in different parts of Istanbul, talking with Istanbul-citizens and searching for hidden treasures of Istanbul. The fact that I am living in Taksim, makes it easy to go to the music-venues and cinema.
Interests: cinema, strolling in istanbul, athtics (track, field)
