One clouded leopard out to travel the world. From everywhere and nowhere, though NYC is my moon, sun and the place I've spent most of my adult life.

Interests

I'm off to backpack through India for the next five months, February-June 2016. I got my MA in South Asian art history this past May and want to spend some quality time with the statuary I've been obsessing over for the past four years.

Outside of my obscure academic interests, I'm about vagabonding, yoga, meditation, tasty food, reading, and learning how to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Opening my mind and heart to awesome possibility and uncertainty while having all the fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wu-Tang, Prince, Brian Eno, Melvins, Psychic TV, Queens of the Stoneage... but I can shake my groove thing to most anything.

Akira!! I love Almodóvar and Miyazaki. General viewing preferences: magic, aliens, gruesome murders.

Tops that quickly come to mind are Murakami, Mary Gaitskill, Mikhail Bulgakov, Borges, Lydia Davis, Kundera, Coetzee.
