Greetings! My name is Ece and I’m from Ankara, the capital of Türkiye. I am 23 years old and trying to survive the phase of after-graduation. I am currently doing a gap year because I decided to have some time for myself before starting my master’s right away, and I feel lucky to have a chance to spend 2 months volunteering in Skopje. I think I will also have the time to improve my skills in content creation and writing here. I am beyond excited about meeting new people from different backgrounds and getting to know the city better.

I like to spend my time reading fiction, doing pilates, and just chatting & chilling with my friends. I believe more people should just exclude themselves from the rush of their daily lives and create some time to do something good for themselves and their surroundings. At least I will try to do the same in the future. I know that my journey in Skopje will bring me unforgettable memories and people. Stay tuned! 🙂
