I am Berna. I live in Turkey. Not the flightless bird. The country.
I grew up in the district of Bursa, in my family house in the countryside. I think this pastoral way of growing up has made me a minimalist in life, running a farm, producing all organic produce, having little dependency on the outside world) that my parents doing organic farming and that we mostly use what farm etc. and having little dependency to the outside world made me a minimalist in my Life view and in my daily practices. Living in a farm house and having our garden adjoined to a forest and having snakes, hogs, bears, squirrels, foxes, cats and dogs as visitors affects my characters. Also I have observed and experienced nature's unstoppable and unpreventable forces first hand.
