I'm a social worker (assisting developmenta​lly disabled adults and incarcerated​ teens).  I'm also pursuing my Masters in internationa​l social work. 
My dream is to practice social work in Turkey.  :)

I love helping people.  People say I'm very sweet, gentle, sensitive, and compassionat​e...........​but I also love adventure and diving into new experiences,​ and I especially enjoy cross-cultur​al friendships.​
I'm very open-minded and somewhat of a counter-cult​ural / hippie.

TURKEY AND TURKISH ONLY!!!!!!!!​!!!
I'm in love with Turkey (Turkiye cok seviyorum)..​.....and really want to exchange snail mail letters with someone there for the purpose of practicing my Turkish. 
Male or female, any age, any background..​......as long as you're Turkish.  :)
