CURRENT MISSION

figuring that out

ABOUT ME

I'm a self-confessed nerd and a social butterfly- I love reading books as much as I do throwing parties :-). I quit the pre-med track my Senior year of college and decided instead to move halfway across the world to Singapore to work at a start-up not for profit in social enterprise. I actually don't care for rice or noodles...I eat them everyday but would not miss them if I was told I'd have to live my life without them. One day I'll own businesses and social enterprises and live in an apartment in a big city with a rooftop garden, balcony, and a dark room. A Democrat who grew up reading the Rush Limbaugh letter...Daddy still hasn't figured out what went wrong.

PHILOSOPHY

Still figuring it out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Little India :) Unfortunately my couch is not available right now but would love to catch up/share experiences and give a tour of Little India!

I signed up a long time ago but stopped for a period of time...not really sure why I let that happen. Now excited to get back on track and to do more travelling & host more people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've given a whirlwind tour of sorts of Little India area to a CSer. I'm a CS rookie :)

Interests

Social Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Social Entrepreneurship, Fencing, Classic Rock Records, Tomatoes, Chickpeas, Cranberry Blood Orange Tea, Red Dresses, Dave Barry, talking about global development and politics, talking about anything really, writing when I feel inspired, reading when I need inspiration.

Music: I miss my record player- yeah i was that nerd in college who had a record player. I like classic rock (Eagles, Queen, Bruce Springstein, Journey are always good), corny country (Brad Paisley), plus songs I can dance and sing to (Aventura, Shakira, Juanes)....my embarressing list besides Country music includes Josh Groban

Teach, Learn, Share

I can:
1) teach you some polish
2) teach you basic fencing moves
3) more to come...

I'd love to photograph with anyone in Singapore.
