Introduction Hello, I am Derya and I write. I am not a professional, but I love writing. I am a solo parent, a teacher, a daughter, a woman of color, a lifelong learner and currently a PhD student trying to balance time zone difference, graduate work, and motherhood all at the same time. In this blog, there will be posts about almost all aspects of my life, as I imagine this medium to be my online journal detailing the journey to bear witness to the process, not the destination.
Interests Nature, hiking, trekking, walking, cycling in nature, (amateur) photography, reading, writing, languages, ideas, films, doing puzzles, new projects...
