About Me

I am a wandering city-o-phile who is pathologically incapable of staying in one place for any long period of time. Since mid 2011, I have been on a quest for the meaning of home in a world that is rapidly changing. I currently consider three cities – London, New York and Singapore – my home(s), and a few other cities, places I know I can (re-)visit if I need comfort and a familiar face.

In a past life, I was a strategic planner and cultural policy-maker, researching and applying my research to strategies and new policies to enhance a city’s livability and (place) branding through arts and culture.  I am still fascinated by the role culture – particularly contemporary art,  architecture and music – plays in defining a city (or its essence), and I am an unabashed cultural tourist.
