About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people in Montpellier and improve my French!

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back Sri Lankan-Australian currently living in Marseille. My French teacher used to say, if I was "any more laid back, I'd fall over";) But also, such is life in sun burnt Australia.

My parents gave me the gift of travel by migrating to Australia in the 1970s from Sri Lanka. So, since I was a baby, I traveled to the motherland and many places in between, and caught the travel bug early!

Since then, I have lived in America for six years (glorious NYC for four of them) and am now living out a 10-year dream of improving my French in the South of France.

My life has always been driven by cultural experiences and quenching my thirst of constant curiousity. For that, I love meeting new people from all over the world because I believe you can learn something from every person you meet.

PHILOSOPHY

True knowledge, is knowing the extent of one's ignorance

Take risks, live out every opportunity life gives you, and have no regrets!
