Description
Hello, My name is Işın! It means a line segment with a definite beginning and an unknown end. I think that it suits me really well. Because I don't know what awaits for me in life and I love this feeling of uncertainty& freedom!
I live in Istanbul. I work as a Project Manager in a NGO called the Sustainability Steps Association. We aim to increase awareness on climate crisis in Turkey. I started working here shortly after I got my degree in political science. Now, I feel that it is time for me to leave my comfort zone and experience different things, meet new people, listen to their stories and create some memories. I will be coming to New Zealand in December as a working holiday visa holder. I am really excited for this once in a lifetime opportunity and I look forward to what life will bring to me!

More details about your skills
I had the chance to volunteer on an organic farm with chickens, goats, and dogs. I helped with cooking and cleaning, I took care of their animals. Also, I had the opportunity to help them by planting and harvesting vegetables and fruits.
I stayed in a community build earthship and learned using cob,
glass bottles and cans as a building material, practiced biodynamic farming.
Other than that, I'm always open and willing to learn new things, working outside and do physical work where my hands are getting dirty!

What else ...
I am calm, kind-hearted, empathic and a fun person. At least that's how my friends would describe me! I love interacting with the people that I come across with, someone that I sit on the bus with, someone that I come across in the grocery store, actually seeing the people around you, complimenting them, and the last but not least just sharing a smile with them is really important to me!
I love being in the mountains, somewhere close to the water, or a beautiful forest. Camping with my friends, watching the moon together, witnessing to a beautiful sunset, swimming in the cold rivers, having a homemade dinner with the people that I love, sharing stories, listening others, singing, dancing, slow mornings, just being…
I am passionate about cooking! I feel like it’s a channel that brings out my creativity and strengthens my instincts. It’s keeps me in the flow, takes me back in the present when my mind is not.
Also, I love seeing new places, meeting people from everywhere around the world, get to know them better and their culture, building beautiful connections, seeing a part of you in them, and showing them every side of you, just to love and being loved in return as Nat King Coles one said :)
