I was born and raised in Germany. My mom is Persian and my father was Russian and Turkish. I was dragged over seas to Canada at age 9 or was it 10? Makes for a very colourful dish doesn't it? Anyway, I am here and I am starting to get itchy in my skin. I want to break out and do something with my life...figure myself out and somehow manage to get paid for things I love to do. On top of that I have the travelling bug, but on a mid level management salary, I am not getting far. I have aspirations to be a writer and a photographer, but never had the money to get a piece of paper that said I was qualified to do this. Joining this site is my very small beginning at figuring out all that is me.
