ABOUT ME

I am a hard working writer with ambitions of becoming the next Kofi Annan. I am culturally and politically active.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to fill it to the fullest. Of course I live to become immortal since I write books and what are writers if not narcissistic and vain?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess apart from the UFO I thought I spotted after a Radiohead concert in Florence, the most beautiful thing I've seen was the lava flow off Stromboli outside the northern coast of Sicily.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a degree in gender science and enjoy discussions on feminism. I do also speak quite a few languages that I don't mind sharing. Drawing is somethig I do well and creative writing as well.
