The next heroine of the "Our People Abroad" column is Nargiza Alptekin, who was interviewed by a Turmush correspondent.

Nargiza was born in the Jalal-Abad region, and when she was 2 years old, her family moved to Bishkek. After finishing school, she wanted to pursue a career as a pastry chef, as she had loved cooking and inventing new dishes since childhood. However, her parents were categorically against it, and she enrolled in the Academy of Tourism.

After the first year, students were sent to Turkey for internships in hotels or to work as guides. She worked in a restaurant at a five-star hotel, quickly adapted, and learned the language. The hotel manager was pleased with the work of the students from Bishkek and invited them to work for the next tourist season. Before their departure, he gave each of them 100 dollars to buy gifts for their loved ones.

The next trip to Turkey radically changed her life. "In 2014, I came back for an internship. A friend I worked with was going to meet a young man and invited me along. He came to the meeting with his friend. That’s how I met my future husband. He was noticeably different from others. Turkish guys try to win girls' attention with gifts and shopping trips, but he was completely different — serious, smart, calm. That immediately attracted me. We communicated for about six or seven months online, and then when I came back to Turkey, our relationship continued. Two years after we met, we got married. At the end of 2016, we had our wedding, and three years later, we had a son. Motherhood has become the greatest gift of fate for me," Nargiza shared.

While working in the tourism sector, Nargiza managed to work in many five-star hotels, met wonderful people, and saw many world stars — Mustafa Sandal, Maxim Galkin, and other actors.

Nargiza lives with her family in Antalya and dreams of pursuing her favorite activity in the future — baking sweets, making custom cakes, and selling them. In her free time, she enjoys spending time actively with her family, meeting with friends, reading books, and watching captivating movies.
