Where are you from?

I was born in a small country town called Boonah in Australia. I spent the past ten years living on the Gold Coast in south east Queensland.

Do you have any hobbies?

My hobbies include going mountain climbing, walking my dog called “Benji”, and exploring new places as I love learning about the history and culture.

What do you like about living in Pamplona?

I enjoy walking around the old town and meeting up with friends and relatives for a drink and snack.

What’s your favourite book?

My favorite book is “Pillars of the Earth” by the author ‘Ken Follet’. It is a ‘cross-generational’ story revolving around the construction of a cathedral in England and the lives of the families who built it over many years.

What’s your favourite English word?

My favourite English word is definitely “mate”. Its a word we use a lot in Australia. Its basically can be used to describe a friend, someone you have known forever, or someone you have just met. In Australia you will frequently hear people greet one another with “How ya goin mate?”

What is your favourite football team?

Why? This is a tricky question. My favourite football team is actually a rugby league team entitled “The Broncos”. Its a brutal game and incredibly tough to watch as you don’t know how their bodies survive the tackles and hits as one team tries to stop the other team from scoring goals.
