I'm back in LA after a year of touring with Bellydance Superstars. As a grad student in Culture, Performance, and Dance at UCLA I am back to the books for one more year of study and thesis writing. I'm also back teaching my LA dance class family and doing more than a few gigs abroad.

It is 2011: I am moved out of my apartment in LA, shacked up in Austin, TX, and embarking upon a new chapter in my life. After four years I took my BA at UCLA and now I am on tour with the Bellydance Superstars. Check in here to see my notes from the road.

In summer of 2008 I lived in Jaipur, Rajasthan, where I stayed with a host family, attended school everyday learning Hindi, practiced yoga every morning in the park, and traveled around North India. I also met the love of my life, with whom I returned to live in Jaipur again in 2009. These are a collection of reflections I wrote to my friends and family while I was there.
