Music, Movies, and Books
At the moment I'm reading 'A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing' and Zizek on Event theory. Alice Munro and Lolita are next on my list.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I organised and led a 7-day trek on the Larapinta trail, in central Australia. Besides the pleasure of being out in a stunning and isolated part of my own country, I found it rewarding to have learnt all that I did through the leadership experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can help with your French if you need, in exchange for another language...
