Description

We are Irmak, 19 years old from Cyprus, and Marie, 19 years old from France. We met in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina while studying at United World College which is an international boarding school. Marie has just graduated from high school and Irmak is taking a break from her studies to both take a gap year to experience the world. Marie is very passionate about cooking and loves to spend time in the kitchen trying out new recipes and Irmak is really passionate about the entertainment industry and aspires to be a creative director. We both are very eager to learn about new cultures and experience life in different countries. Both of us are motivated, patient and devoted to what we do. We both love dogs and have one of our own and we are very kid friendly!
