About Me

I’m a writer and editor, a news junkie and a constant learner. I think, worry and wonder continuously about the issues, the people, the power and the future of our world.

I’m not happy unless I’m consuming some kind of media - blogs, magazines, newspapers, podcasts, broadcasts, documentaries, social networks.

I also relish in lively discussion and debate. I’m not afraid to speak my mind.
