Family And Leisure Interests
I am from a warm and beautiful city called Izmir and I live in Copenhagen with my family since 2017. I am married to Christian from Hamburg with our 4-year-old children Mona Idil and Jonas Alp. Besides mastering everyday life and enjoying being a mother of twins, currently I am improving my Danish by taking classes. I love the outdoors, especially hiking and running as well as expressing my creativity through pottery and fabric printing. I love writing articles - one example that made it in one of the best-selling Turkish travel magazines can be accessed here: http://tiny.cc/nordiclight.
Volunteer Experience
Currently I am volunteering at the Parents-Kids Club community as a volunteer and a board member as well as volunteering in the newly established Turkish expat community.
