Kiwi lass excited to be moving to Canada. Arty/friendly/laid back. I spent the last year in Vietnam working in media, I will be in Toronto in October and November to do a UX course.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's like choosing a favourite child.... lately I've been listening to a lot of Tame Impala, Tiny Ruins, Bon Iver, Chet Faker, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar...
Book-wise I've been reading pop science and psychology, and watching a range of things on Netflix, but I really loved Peaky Blinders.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I photographed the opening ceremony of the 2011 Rugby World Cup from a helicopter

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love deep philosophical chats (particularly around ethics), but I'm equally as happy for banter about music/TV/whatever if that's not your thing.

I'm into cooking and baking (see photo of cheesecake I made) so will happily cook for you. I'm a part-time photographer so if you need a new LinkedIn pic I can hook you up. I can also give you photography tips, see my website to check out my work http://www.anniemcdougall.com/ . I can't say I'm not a particularly knowledgeable gardener but I enjoy getting in the dirt so will happily weed/garden with direction!
