About me: 
“Are you paralyzed with fear? That's a good sign. Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember one rule of thumb: The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.” ---Therefore, JUMP IN AND LET GO!



I try to remember to live like this quote by Salman Rushdie:
Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody-minded. Argue with the world. And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping , like sand, through our fingers."



I...
am striving to live without regrets
am trying to not be afraid
don't want to think about safety nets
am a writer
am a traveler
love films
am trying to get back to the basics
voraciously read books
am trying to figure it out
love dried fruit
wish there were more hours in the day
like canned mushrooms
like bananas and yogurt
love yogurt
am trying to be better
am addicted to coffee
am trying to learn German
want to travel more
love time bubbles

Living in Berlin demands that you actively seek out it's hidden haunts and break barriers. The city's penchant for blending the bizarre within the ordinary makes it the perfect place for curiosity-seekers and non-conformists. Concealed within the lush greenery of the Treptow Park and barred by a...

Turkey is culturally, historically, and geographically the cradle of civilization. It has been the fountainhead for the three most powerful societies in history: the Hitite, the Byzantine, and the Ottoman Empire. Situated between the continents of Europe and Asia, the country is a fusion of the East...
