RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Turkey which makes English my second language even though I sometimes sound like a Brit. I moved to Australia 20 years ago after meeting my husband online and marrying him. For me, Sydney is home now.
I have been a vegetarian for 25 years. It is one of the best things I’ve even done for myself. These days, I’m more plant-based than vegetarian.
I’m a published food writer. My nutrition related articles were published back in Turkey in a magazine called Agroskop. You can view them here.
Even though, my training in nutrition and natural therapies took place in Australia, I do come from a hotel management background. My hospitality management background came quite useful when I had my own restaurant for 10 years back in Turkey. We did English food and that’s when I ruined my health which subsequently led me to research Ayurveda and natural therapies.

I’m a jazz singer but I can sing other genres as well. I started to work with professional musicians at the age of 16. After rehearsing for only a month and a half, I had the privilege to front a professional band at a 5-star hotel with guests from all four corners of the world. So, I can sing in 7 different languages, including Portuguese (mainly because we did some Brazilian jazz songs). My pronunciation is right on the spot, you cannot tell that I’m not a native speaker.

These days, I’m setting up my own band. We’re looking for a keyboard player and bass player. If you know anyone, just let me know.

I’m a huge Toto fan.

I met the band members (Steve Lukather, David Paich, Joseph Williams, Steve Porcaro and David Hungate) twice during our Europe trip in 2015. We actually organised our 5-week Europe holiday around 2 concert dates: one in Paris and another one in Berlin.

I got 2 kisses from David Paich after he’d found out that we travelled all the way from Australia for the concerts. He said to me: “You made my day!” That made him forget to sign one of my drumheads but that’s OK. We have 4 signed drumheads between me and my husband.

I LOVE to travel!

And I managed to tick off a few places of my travel bucket list. Machu Picchu was at the top of my list and guess who was there at the same time? Cameron Diaz!

Actually, we bumped into her in Cusco first. We thought she was following us but she was shooting a program for a Canadian channel.

And yes, she is absolutely gorgeous!

I have been participating NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for the last 7 years. Here’s how it works: we sign up for it and pledge to write 50,000 words or more during November. Everyone who achieves that within a month is a winner. I won it 7 times so far. So, that means I have a few finished manuscripts.
I’m a fur Mum. Her name is Kimi. She’s an Australian Silky Terrier even though she looks like a Yorkshire Terrier. I refer to her as our own Yorkshire pudding!
