About Me

I love maps and books and words and red wine and South-Sea pearls and heated toilet seats and uncomplicated joys.

I adore restaurants and restaurant people.

I hate the word “foodie.”

I love the word “cherish.”

My favorite color is bright yellow—you know, like ripe lemons, like sunshine.

I like 100% cotton percale bedsheets and sanitized bathrooms, losing my religion and flaky croissants, fragrant white rice and being on time, comfortable silence and red Energel 1.0 mm ball pens.

I am a Third-World street child, but I have lived in 7 countries in 4 continents.

New York City is my anchor, my home.

I collect languages.

I love fireflies.
