CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and learn new recipes

ABOUT ME

I love travel and languages and cooking. I've been lucky to visit more than my fair share of places, but this has just made me want to see more! If I can't go there, then I want there to come to me - which is why I joined CS.

PHILOSOPHY

Take responsibility for your actions rather than looking for anyone/thing else to solve your problems.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got hugged by Frank Sinatra - and spat on by Saddam Hussein. (Not on the same day!)

Teach, Learn, Share

My work has given me a good knowledge of UK politics and government. And I work with the English language - as a journalist and communicator.

I want to learn to play the bass guitar.
