My name is Jemayel. Everybody in the US thinks i'm English and everybody in the UK thinks i'm American. I'm a journalist and work for Vice, have written for The Guardian and Playboy amongst others.

The people I get along with the most are all kind of strange in their own way and generally pretty easygoing. I like electronic music and I talk to strangers.
