CURRENT MISSION

EAT THE WORLD

ABOUT ME

British/ American / Indian now working in Miami for a large microfinance network (we give small loans to poor people). I have a habit of finding myself in situations that reveal the wonderful randomness and chaos that constitutes life. I am obsessed with trying local cuisines and wouldn't be caught dead in a McDonald's when travelling. I have a quirky sense of humor that may reveal itself at inappropriate times.
