Casa Robino

I currently live and work in Baghdad, Iraq as a language specialist. I found your project through CS and am smitten!

Born in Bangalore, India then lived in Doha, Qatar before immigrating to Los Angeles in the USA. I grew up for the better part of my life in the Philadelphia area. Coming from a very conservative background, I wound up studying psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and visual anthropology in university, but as fate would have it, found myself with the best job I could imagine and living my dream performing on Broadway in NYC! I had always been a lover of travel, but I became an addict when my brother asked me to join him for a couple gap months in Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt...since then, I am always whisking away on very little notice to whichever part of the globe I can cover. I was greatly affected by the tragic Asian Tsunami of December 26, 2004 which ravaged through my hometown and state of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. I packed my things, took what I thought was time OFF of life (but in the process, REDISCOVERED it) and ventured off to South Asia on a mission. I got to volunteer for incredible relief projects in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka and Nagapattinam, India. ...Somehow, I found myself working in the Bollywood film industry, photographing, and traveling and reconnecting with my roots through the course of a year- truly a priceless time.

My new thing is living in new countries and immersing myself completely in the local culture. I find that this gives me the kind of 'in depth' understanding of the human spirit that I crave... and it turns out... we're not all that different after all!

Crazy adventures, and who knows what's in store with me :) I am passionate about life and learning...and try to be even more spontaneous all the time!

I am uncle sam son.

I am a student from Poland, i'm looking for new opportunities , I want to explore, get and give as much as i can from the Word.

I got fed up with my role in the corporate world so I quit my job and p*ssed off with a backpack, deciding to spend my life-savings travelling the world instead. So far I've travelled in 32 countries, and counting!...

I'm confident, happy and often slightly quirky. I can be mischievous, cheeky & fun when I want to be, and mature & professional when I need to be... A typical Aries, I'm passionate, idealistic, witty & spontaneous. Always honest, open & loyal. In my spare time I'm an Ambassador for an international microfinance organisation, aiming to bring an end to poverty in developing nations, and I completed a $60k fundraising trek in the Himalayas last September.

I love: tranquil sunsets, the smell of rain before it arrives, walking in a forest & listening to the birdsong, cooking up a big pot of curry for my friends, playing games with my niece & nephews, drawing & painting, making music, and most of all meeting people from all different backgrounds...

I'm travelling long-term, due to head home to Sydney in June 2011 (although not sure I'll be ready to go home then!). Haven't decided on my next move yet, I don't like to plan too far ahead. Maybe a WWOOF experience in South America... Visit my WV sponsored child in Guatemala?!...

I guess you could say I'm a more earthy type - I've lived longterm around a campfire in a rainforest and don't mind getting a bit dirty or mucking in to help carry a heavy load. Definitely no princess!

I'm interested in meeting like-minded people where-ever I go... Show me your city/town/farm! :)
