Favourite Book
Changes all the time, but Amanda Svensson's A System So Magnificent It Is Blinding stayed with me long after I finished reading it. Truly original.
Dream Destination
The Stockholm Archipelago in high Summer - just sublime.
London Hangout
London's music venues are legendary. The Moth Club in Hackney is my latest favourite.

Favourite Book
Guapa by Saleem Haddad: “We all tell lies to protect our solitude. We deny the truth and present a false image of ourselves to blend into society.”
Dream Destination
Tokyo, and in particularly, Shimokitazawa, the area with the world's most perfect cafes.
London Hangout
Camden Arts Centre: off the beaten track and low key, with consistently offbeat, always inspiring shows. Great cafe too!
