I am 45 years old. I was born in Istanbul, and raised in New York (City) and in various towns in Connecticut. In addition to having European background, I have the North East culture with a touch of North West one. I have been living in Seattle for the last 7 years. I live in downtown Ballard, and work in Redmond. (I don't work for MS) I try to travel domestically and internationally several times a year both for business and pleasure. So far, I have been to Brazil, Mexico, Canada, England, Germany, Greece, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Holland, and of course Turkey. My next vacation spot will probably be Paris-France in coming months. I try to be active in sports. I do yoga 3 times a week, and I cycle (speed bike) once or twice a week for a couple of hours. I plan to start taking sailing lessons shortly during this summer.
