Life I live in New York City. I studied Nepali at Columbia University which innitially got me here, but a thriving art community kept me here. I love the stimulation of the city an am walking distance from the theatre community and Central Park. I spend most of my time exploring the world. I have climbed Kilamanjaro and the Himalayas and know most major cities in the world. I have studied Russian and openend one of the first privatised galleries in Russia right after Peristroika.
