Greetings from Turkey! My name is Ä°pek and I'm 18 years old. I joined swapbot because I think it is a great platform to learn about others' individual stories. We are living in countries with completely different cultures and sometimes it's even as if we are living in different worlds. I think this rich diversity is what makes the world interesting and fun. Swapbot makes it so easy to make friends from all around the world and get to know them.Also I love waiting for the mail to come.It is much more exciting than e-mail:)

I like reading all kinds of books but my favorite genres are philosophy, fantasy and classics. These days I'm also reading a lot about different religions. Some of my favorite books are Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig, Paranın Cinleri by Murathan Mungan, The Wall by Jean Paul Sartre, Samarkand by Amin Maalouf, The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Stranger by Albert Camus, Selected Essays by Michel de Montaigne, Fırat Suyu Kan Akıyor Baksana by Yaşar Kemal, Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat, Lord of the Rİngs by Tolkien
