I grew up in the UK and after several years living in Africa I'm now putting down roots in the East Village. I love living in New York - love love love it.
I love restaurant hunting, the theater, drinking good wine, being outdoors and enjoying all that NY has to offer. I would rather talk to real people and live than watch other people do it on TV.
... and I have a cute British accent.
My Ideal Person:
Someone to make me laugh, someone who thinks going to Northern Uganda is exciting (and someone who knows that Darfur is not a country), someone who indulges shamelessly in good food and drink, someone who wants to try new things (roller blading excluded) and who doesn't feel the need to hide their love of early 80's pop music.
The last great book I read
"The Sea" by John Banville
My most humbling moment
When I was in a remote Afghan mountain village with people
who had next to nothing, and they insisted on sharing their
food with me.
Okay, enough earnestness! Next question...
The best or worst lie I've ever told
The other day, when I told my mum: "Living in a sixth
floor walk-up is great because I save on gym membership!"
If I could be anywhere right now
"In a big vat of chocolate pudding."
Five items I can't live without
When in southern Sudan: a mosquito net. When in India: a
lassi. When in Somalia: body armour. When in Chad: a ticket
out of Chad. When in Manhattan: Zagats.
Fill in the blank: _____ is sexy; _____ is sexier.
independent is sexy; independent, witty and smart is sexier.
In my bedroom one will find...
I don't want to talk about it.
