I'm a freelance journalist, originally from Wales, whose been living in Athens since 2015. I write mainly about the refugee crisis but also increasingly about Greek politics. Lately I've been doing less writing and more photography and videos. I live in the very cool and unique neighborhood of Exarcheia and I love it: cafes and bars on every street corner, music always playing and a farmers market outside my door every Saturday!

Interests

I'm very interested in politics and current affairs and travel and geography and history and languages... Photography is a new interest of mine and I'd like to learn more about it if any couchsurfers can share their experience. I also really like cooking (but don't cook as much as I'd like) and I always love to learn new recipes from different parts of the world. And hiking: I like serious hiking trips to remote locations, preferably mountains, preferably with a tent and sleeping bag.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar and have done so for about 10 years. Have a guitar you never play? I'd love to give you some lessons. Have a guitar you play a lot? We could jam and share songs and tricks. I could teach you some Welsh, but only a tiny bit. I could teach you English a lot better. I could answer all your questions about the British Isles.
