 Hi there Hi,
I used to live in the US for the past 12 years and moved back to Turkey a couple of months ago. I am well traveled, speak 5 languages (Sp, Fre, Eng, Ger and Tur) and would be interested in meeting with other expats. Originally I am from Turkey but am very much used to being with foreigners.

Time for friendly welcomes.
Welcome.
What other places have you also travelled to apart from US, what do you do for work?

Thanks for the welcome notes. I have lived in France, Austria and Germany in addition to the US. I have also travelled in Europe, Canada (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, Montreal) and Latin America (Puerto Rico, Aargentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico).
Why did I move back? Good question. I have been thinking that a lot lately as well. Well, I guess I was bored with the monotonous life and wanted some excitement. I work at a bank here.

The burning energy and passion, that element of danger, is there going to be a robbery, a party or an impromptu orgy, you just never know in that everychanging world were everyday is so different, that is the palatable feeling i get everytime i walk into my local branch anyway.

Cheers
