First generation Indo-Jamaican immigrant. I study tea! Dreams to work in the tea industry, sourcing tea from far off lands for companies that specialize in fine, high quality loose leaf tea. I love to make new friends. I can be very opinionated but gracious about it. I'm a strong, intelligent woman. If you are racist, sexist, or ignorant in any way, save me the trouble and tell me not to stay with you.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I moved to Iceland the day after I turned 20.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can answer (almost) any question you have about tea. I am a certified tea specialist after all! I'd love to learn bits and pieces of a few languages, if you happen to know any. Some in particular I'm really eager to learn are Arabic, Hindi, Tamil, Mandarin, and Vietnamese. I'll share a pot of tea with you.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Knowledge of tea, an interesting story of Indo-Jamaican heritage, another interesting story of how I'm kind of married but not, and am pretty open to talking about anything. If we get along well, I'd be willing to explore where you live with you! I love visiting tea and coffee shops when I travel.
My Interests
Tea, music across the world, traveling, I find everything a little interesting.
