Passions → art, travel, food and experiencing new things.

Philosophy → routine and comfort are important but facing challenges, embracing changes and being scared are equally imperative.

Proud of → travelling by myself for eight months through Nepal, India, Singapore, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Indonesia.

Real talk → as much as I love an adventure and thriving in a social environment, I do equally well tucked away in seclusion with a good book, movie, playlist, or strolling aimlessly through a gallery.

Every day → staying active is a very important part of my lifestyle which is why I run, spin, hike, rock climb and I’m slightly addicted to HIIT.

What’s new → As a new import to San Francisco, I'm currently working on a photo diary of all the neighbourhoods and sights of the city.

Fun fact → When I was 6 years old, I was stung by a jellyfish in Dubai and then plunged into a tub of yoghurt to soothe the pain.
