I'm often busy with work, but in the evenings I love to switch off and talk about something different. Sometimes I'm free to go out and explore the city, but often unfortunately I am not, so guests should be self-reliant!

political geography, early 20th century art movements (Suprematism, Dada, Bauhaus etc. - although I'm not pretending to be an expert on any of these, I just like them). Human Rights. Social history. History and cultures across the region that was once the Soviet Union. Eurovision! Bjork, Joni Mitchell, and Kristin Hersh.
