Passionate storyteller and New York Times published travel writer with a knack for sniffing out the offbeat. As a Bhutan expert, my insights have been featured in National Geographic, Travel + Leisure, Lonely Planet, and NYT. On the quest for the world's best croissant – follow the journey at @QuantumCrumbs.Zooming out, my professional journey spans four continents, and I have a fluency, in varying degrees, in six languages. Fueled by a joie-de-vivre for life and an insatiable curiosity, my roles as a journalist, publicist, activist, entrepreneur, and producer have led me to championing women's health, directing innovative events in foreign policy, seeking out the best baked goods in New York City, and exploring the world's most beautiful and unusual places.Currently serving as the English Section Editor of the Bukharian Times, the oldest newspaper for the Bukharian Jewish diaspora in the US, my interest in this community stems from my Master's Degree in Middle East and Central Asian Security Studies from the University of St. Andrews. This academic background, combined with my experiences in Uzbekistan, enriches my contributions, preserving and sharing unique stories within this vibrant yet insular community.Follow me on Instagram: @gldncrl.
