About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enrich my life with language, culture and theatre

ABOUT ME

"If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go." Anthony Bourdain

This quote epitomises my life at this current moment. I'm 22, I've made Europe my home for the past two months and I'm constantly filling my travel journal with recipes I've collected. As a linguistics major, travel fascinate me - as I interact with people who speak two, three, four, five languages and tell the best stories.

I'm captivated by cinema, hoping one day to work in the film industry, and above all, I love European cinema. It allows me to explore cultures other than my own from my bedroom. I'm also a fashionista (not so much when I'm living out of my backpack) and I believe that dressing well is one if the keys to succeeding.

Most importantly, I'm a performer at heart, have seen productions on three continents and believe live theatre brings me joy like no other. I'm really easy going and open minded and above all, I love what the world offers us.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a student of life
