Hello. My name is Barış. I am originally from Turkey and have lived in Saudi Arabia, United States of America and currently live in France. I am an Atheist. My first name, Barış, means Peace. My family name, Tarim originates from the Tarim Basin of East Türkistan, now in China, and was one of the oldest known settlements of Turks in Central Asia. It is still settled by Turks, but it has been ages since many Turks moved out of there, however :))) I can say I am jointly from Istanbul and Seattle and currently live in Normandy in France. Let me know if I can help out with something.
