Hi there!
We are Livia and Orkun. We are slow travellers. We travel the world mostly because we're curious about foreign countries, cultures, languages, habits and human humans with their unique and amazing personal stories.
We care for sustainability as much as we can by avoiding planes, buy seasonal organic foods, buy second hand and recycle.
As well as it is very important to us to take care about the environment we also take care about our own surroundings, body, mind and soul. (Healthy food, sport, reading and meditation are important for us).
We are very easy going, not in for any luxus and we love nature. We also have our own tent with us, in case that would be handy. In general we are in to be caveman/woman, minimalist and connect with nature. This makes us happy.
Our conversations go deep when you open up.
We like to be active and come up easily with some jokes :)) Making fun and laughing is healthy for the environment and feels amazing.Interests
