About Me
- About Me: I love traveling. New York City, Paris, & London are some of my favorite cities that I've been to. I plan to go backpacking through Europe, South America and Asia at some point in my life. Oh, that and climbing Mt Kilimanjaro before all the ice cap melts. Loves to chill to good music, yummy food & great company. I also like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain (haha inside joke)
Style
- Where I shop: Lots of places; Top Shop, Miss Selfridge, Zara, Bangsar, Urban Outfitters

Books

- Favorite Genres: Anything, as long as its good. Though I find science fiction unbearable but other than that, no complaints :)
- Favorite Characters: Esther Greenwood and Holden Caulfield (because they're both very interesting people whose perspective I somewhat "get"). As well as Elizabeth Bennet.
- Favorite Quotes: " If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out. "
