Tell us about a typical day?

I love starting a day with coffee and ending a day with wine, plus bits of reading, writing and related in between. I am a morning person, so I usually start and finish my day early.

What is your future hope?

Talking about the future is vague. If you are reading this, thank you for your time and do remember to seize the day; it is the best to navigate the future in my sense.

If you could invite one person to dinner, who would it be and where would you take them in your city?

I would invite everyone at the Centre for Stories; we should travel to the seaside to share the beauty of our port side. And listen to the waves as it roars the stories of our kind.

What is your favourite bookstore?

It is hard to pick one, the bookstores inside the allies are always magical. I sometimes cruise to different bookstores to learn the stories of the owners and the community/neighbourhood around. Recently, I enjoyed going to Rabble Books & Games as it makes me feel safe there.

What does a port culture look like to you?

It is the interception of history and the modern days. It is the beating heart of many lives rooted along the coast. It is filled with daily conversations echoing different tongues and waving the culture through generations.
