Hello,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled across India--I was born there, but I grew up in the States. It was really cool to see my family, eat good food, learn about where I came from, and experience a VERY different culture! I loved it!
I also tried to start my own sorority scarf company--my parents are manufacturers--it failed miserably--but I learned a lot

Teach, Learn, Share

I am more interested in what you could teach me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a couch, a ton of food, and live literally a block of St. Laurent--the main party street.
