I split my free time between two competing threads of interests: archaeology and history, and international relations and geopolitics. My favourite will depend on the week (or even the day)! I love reading a mix of non-fiction and fiction - some of my favourite genres are historical fiction, spy thrillers and travel writing (as well as, of course, history books). While I don’t get into nature enough, it is something I would love to do more - as a kid I wanted to be an explorer, and I still occasionally get that itch! At the moment my focus is using my phone less, and writing and reading more.
