I lived in a refugee camp for a while. A friend of mine, a journalist, was in town and bored... I had just submitted a writing project and had nothing to do. So we decided to book a flight together and showed up in the camps without much of a plan. Within the next two days, we documented a group of security officers evict refugees from a derelict hotel, made friends with a guy who would become something of a figure in the Amsterdam gay scene, and got wrapped up in a local NGO. The story is written and with a journalism contest in Canada. Let's hope it goes somewhere I guess.

I've got professional audio equipment that travels with me more or less everywhere, but also I can show you how to cook, how to taste wine, or how to speak in public... maybe even how to write jokes I guess. I'm pretty okay at it.
