Finding a soul mate is a challenge for Aid Workers

Our producer, Kulasegaram Sanchayan interviews Krissy Nicholson, an Australian aid worker based in Melbourne, and the author of "tsunami and the Single Girl." The questions are in Tamil and Krissy's responses are in English.Set in humanitarian disaster zones around the world, Tsunami and the Single Girl is the story of Krissy Nicholson's journey to become an aid worker and her (seemingly) never-ending search to find a soul mate.As a free-spirited traveller, Krissy--now almost thirty--needs her life to start taking shape. So how does a wild night on a dance floor in Vietnam land her a sought-after role in Oxfam working in emergency relief? And how does the excess of the expatriate scene, a string of Mr Wrongs and failed romances lead to self-discovery and ultimately self-fulfilment?Against the backdrop of adrenalin-fuelled disaster response, Krissy begins to understand the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Whether co-ordinating emergency relief work in-the-field, or trying to find love in all the wrong places, Krissy takes us on a heartfelt and surprising adventure.Over the past decade, Krissy has experienced the highs and lows of disaster relief work in eight countries across Africa, Asia and the Pacific. This is Krissy's first book.
