Making a Difference

What is the meaning of life? It`s no doubt that we`ve all asked ourselves this question. The answer is subjective. It might be 42 or something different.

For two months, I traveled over 1000 kilometers to teach fun and creative things like building websites and creating videogames in different places in Turkey. This has led me to a great opportunity.
