Recently moved to Glasgow to begin a PhD in the political economy of migration. Will be spending a lot of time doing research in Central Asia for the next few years.

I’ve spent time living in different cities including London, Edinburgh, Moscow, St Petersburg and Buenos Aires. Usually looking to hang out but have done quite a bit of surfing in the past.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly into ambient/minimal electronic music, but also love a rave or jazz concert

When I’m travelling I really like to explore local arthouse and socially-engaged films.

Often buried in academic articles these days but my love for languages and the world was born out of modernist literature, so it still occupies a special place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked across the highlands of Iceland and then spent an evening partying with Bjork
