hello there, i'm Nettra (pronounced according to spelling: net + tra = nettra).
i'm a 20-something global nomad and digital native currently based in Paris. i was born in California, raised in Phnom Penh and loved my three-year stint in New York City.
i am a student of international affairs. learning about the impact of technology, entrepreneurship and the arts on society is what gives me energy.
this tumblr helps me keep track of things which have happened to me, as well as the interesting, funny, inspiring and beautiful links i find this on this internet odyssey (read more).
for something more focused and structured (i.e., without photos of cute animals), you may like to browse my online art portfolio or visit my website. you can also find me on twitter, ask me a question or feed my fish.

Shall women save the economy?
Interesting read.
I heart this woman: Ms. @virgiliasignh.
You would too! Really happy she’s being recognized for her work. She was recently named a Bloomberg BusinessWeek Fellow for the Sandbox Global Summit (which sadly concluded on Sunday). Even more recently she was named the youngest woman selected for the AZ Historical Society’s “Arizona’s 48 Most Intriguing Women” alongside AZ Representatives (Gabrielle Gifford), Mayors, Academics (Christine Wilkinson), Governors (Ross Mofford), Jeanne Herberger, and Ambassador Barbara Barrett.
Speaking of which… one of her babies (created with the amazing Niamh Hughes) @OurPlates @Paris will have its next brunch soon! @ me for details :)
Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the ‘transcendent’ and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don’t be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.
