ABOUT ME
Love meeting people from different parts of the world. I've been working as the editor of a business and trade journal in Colombia and Lebanon for the last three years and planning to go back to University to study International Political Economy in September, so I'm currently enjoying being home in my one true base, Leeds. I love food and cooking, dancing - salsa, cumbia, house music..

Music, Movies, and Books
All the obvious ones stay with me... Godfathers, Apocylapse now, Terminators 1 and 2, Home Alone 1 and 2. Although very much like watching International films, France, Germany and Spain are probably all doing a better job than the UK.
