Yusuf

Hello, I’m Yusuf, 28 years old, a Work and Holiday visa holder from Istanbul, Turkey.

I will arrive in Australia on 14 January. I have a background in finance, having worked as an Investment Advisor / Stock Broker in the Istanbul Stock Market and later as a Power and Commodity Trader for around 5 years.

I also spent one year in the Czech Republic as an Erasmus student, which gave me great experience living abroad and adapting to different cultures. Back in Istanbul, I shared my apartment with two housemates for four years without any issues, so I’m very comfortable with shared living.

My goal in Australia is to complete the 6-month tourism/hospitality work requirement to extend my visa and enjoy a bit of a break after a busy career in finance.

After work, I enjoy preparing cocktails and cooking meals for myself and my housemates. I’m also happy to host friends from time to time — traditional Turkish hospitality and a warm smile come naturally to me 😊🍽️

In my free time, I enjoy playing football, video games, and swimming ⚽🎮🏊‍♂️
I’m respectful, tidy, easygoing, and I really value a calm, friendly, and positive home environment. Non-smoker.
