ABOUT ME
Life is a creation. I have an intense passion for traveling, dance and music (from rock to house to classical to jazz) - but it's not what you do but who you do it with. So friends, community and networks are and becoming even moreso important to me. I grew up in Trinidad and Tobago (the best carnival in the world!!!), am now based in New York City but have had short stints in London, Toronto and have spent the last four months in Paris (studying French). I enjoy learning about other cultures and people, LOVE FOOD and a socializing!! I intend to spend half of this year in Europe, take on a community project mid-year,then travel, study and live in Africa/South Africa for the rest of 2011.
PHILOSOPHY
Be passionate about life and keep taking risks.
