CURRENT MISSION

I just want to learn everything from everyone.

ABOUT ME

I recently relocated to Quito to work for an agricultural research institute. I like cooking and dancing, separately or together. I like art, and music, and politics, and I like it even more when the three are combined.

PHILOSOPHY

"Who am I to refuse the universe?" F. (Beautiful Losers)

All the beautiful colours.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can knit a scarf, paint pictures on clothes, and cook vegetarian food.

I can also talk at great length about various issues related to international relations - the by-product of two degrees and a general obsession with the topic.
