ABOUT ME

I study at SOAS, in London. I like denim, and thunderstorms, and poetry, and organising other people's lives. I pretend that I can play the accordion, but I'd never lie about how awful at singing I am.
I think it's cool to be spontaneous, but it doesn't suit me, I like plans, as long as they can be deviated from slightly.

Music, Movies, and Books

Juno is my favourite film by a long way. Submarine is also pretty good.

I like the alternative English music scene, and especially going to festivals in damp fields. Some of my best bands are Alt-J, Foals, Tribes, WU LYF, Bon Iver, Bombay Bicycle Club and James Blake.

My favorite book is Dubliners, by James Joyce, but I like to read a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Croatia with 19 of my best friends when we finished high school.
Going on stage with Belle and Sebastian in front of 30 thousand people.
Joining the Oxford protests against the rise of tuition fees for English students, and breaking into the Bodleian Library.
Travelling around Palestine, and especially working on the most amazing permaculture farm near Bethlehem.
