Hello everyone! I am Elif from Turkiye and I brought lots of hugs from Ankara and Bolu. I am living in Ankara but studying in Bolu. I am constantly traveling between these two cities. Ankara is a capital city and as in any capital city, there are crowds, lots of buildings, and chaos, but Bolu is a small quiet city and is famous for its nature, lakes, and forests. 

I am studying psychology, I have one more year for graduation and I will do my internship in VCS during the summer. I was looking for new challenges so I wanted to do my internship abroad and VCS gave me this chance. I am sure that this summer I will gain a lot of experiences and some weight because Macedonian food is amazing!

In my free time, I like watching sitcoms and spending time with my friends and family. I am a basketball player although I haven’t been able to find time to play often for a while now. I also like watching and following the teams. I like camping and I would like to discover camping areas of Macedonia as well.

So, there is a lot of things to do, let’s start!
