CURRENT MISSION

Discovering Dunedin!

ABOUT ME

I'm about to move to Dunedin and am keen to discover some of the highlights of this (hopefully!) amazing city by meeting some locals. I'm about to finish off the final year of my PhD in philosophy, but my interests reach far beyond that. I find answering this kind of vague question incredibly difficult so I think I'll stop here.

Interests

Reading, cycling, cooking and eating, playing Go, video games (and talking broadly about them), music (but doesn't everyone say that? possilby, I'm sorry), dancing, programming, attempting to improve my German, climbing.
