Cathy Paras, has penned lifestyle pieces on just about everything under the sun. Studying, living and working in Manhattan, Los Angeles, D.C., Singapore, Hong Kong, and Indonesia, has made her a bit of a restless wanderer. When she's not in front of her laptop researching the next travel-related thrill, the next 'big thing,' the next dish or book or person that will blow your mind, she's probably hanging out and having deep and meaningful conversations with her bulldog, Tank. In addition to teaching Literature at De La Salle University, where she is currently getting her MFA in Creative Writing, she is a UST Writer's Workshop Fellow, lover of life and self-confessed hedonist. Although the world is her oyster, the Philippines will always be home.
