  • Description

    I am passionate about exploring new cultures and sharing my own. You can find my exploring journey from my Instagram account! (@okkalie) Japan, in particular, fascinates me for both its culinary traditions and rich heritage. I enjoy immersing myself in different environments and learning from others. Cooking is one of my biggest talents—I'm especially good at preparing Turkish dishes and brewing excellent coffee, which I love sharing with people. I'm always eager to contribute and bring joy through the food I prepare and the experiences I offer. Meeting new people, helping out, and embracing the beauty of cultural exchange are what motivate me and bring happiness to my life.

    More details about my language interests
    I can teach both English and Turkish. I'm also very curious about Japanese and would love to learn it! I often advocate the theory that Turkish and Japanese are related languages! 😊

  • More details about your skills

    I’ve been working as a software engineer for about 6 years, and I’m still actively engaged in my work. I plan to continue working remotely while staying with hosts, following Japan's time zone. My workday typically starts around 3 PM and goes until 11/12 at night (of course, not fully dedicated during this time ⏳—I take breaks, cook meals, and go for walks 🚶‍♂️).

    In addition to my professional background, I can prepare delicious meals 🍲—thanks to my mother for passing down this skill! I’m also quite knowledgeable about coffee ☕ and can even host coffee workshops, especially focusing on Turkish coffee.

    I have extensive knowledge in both software and hardware 💻, so I can assist or offer lessons in these areas. I’m happy to help with any household needs 🏠, care for pets 🐾, do the shopping 🛒, and even practice English with your children (I have two nephews, and I love engaging with them! 👨‍👧‍👦).
