Description
Hello. I am Sunay I was born in Turkey and live in a village in the south of the country. The place where I mostly want to be is where I can get in touch with nature easily. For this reason, I have always preferred to be in nature for job, hobbies etc. in my life. My priority is always to respect nature. I care a lot about other life forms too.
Although my education is in nature conservation at the academy, I am not working in that field professionally at the moment. I am a versatile person. I have many interests that I sometimes get lost in. Bouldering/Climbing, yoga, mountain hiking, gardening, bird watching, performing arts (juggling) and reading are some of the things that are good for my soul. I am also a yoga instructor. I like to encourage people to connect their body and mind, and that's how I prefer to teach asana practices.
I am a very firendly and cooperative person and I respect my own personal space too. Other things that excite me the most are learning new skills, growing emotionally and being transformed. Recently I need these things even more. Traveling and building meaningful relationships with people is a unique way to do that. That's one of the reasons I want to be on the road. My destination is South America for now and I have many reasons for that. At the same time, I love the Spanish language and I want to revitalize my Spanish, which is a bit rusty. I am looking forward to my new journey!

More details about your skills
During my academic journey I worked as a researcher in the nature conservation and research projects.
After leaving the academy I become a content writer in two different company (Biology Specialist for EWMA Team; Product content and blog writer for Lumos Camping and Van Company). As I worked remotely in these jobs I also worked as a farmer and biologist in an ecological farm (where people trying to adapt syntropic farming in to mediterranean climate) in the Mediterranean region in Turkey.
I am quick learner and very handy for helping construction works. Me and my boyfriend built a motocaravan 3 years ago.
Besides all these, I have been teaching as a yoga instructor since 2018.
