I have lived a long life, and have had many adventures. As an anthropologist, I travelled to many remote parts of the world to study indigenous cultures. I was also a journalist for many years. I travelled the world in search of stories. I covered many conflicts and historic events. I am cheerful, outgoing, curious, intellectual, and witty. I enjoy talking about philosophy, history, art, music, literature, politics, and the social sciences. I love meeting new people and getting to know them.
