I'm a writer, journalist, translator and editor based in Berlin, with roots in the UK, Norway and Hungary.

I used to work as a reporter and cultural critic in Hong Kong. I was the girl who broke into electronic waste sites in the city's crime ridden outskirts, and who wrote about dogs a lot, too. Ruff work if you ask me. I also lived in Mainland China and can neck shots of rice wine without pulling a stupid face and have actually learnt quite decent Mandarin. When I was really small, I was taught piano from a retired Hungarian jazz pianist (and Holocaust survivor) called Klara who claims she once performed for Fidel Castro. She used to shout "look the music!" and that was actually pretty stressful, so I switched to flute lessons. I think Bach is great so long as there are no harpsicords.

I'm interested in culture, transnationalism, storytelling and lots of other things.
