I studied History and Politics in Vancouver, Canada and now study international relations in London, UK. I am really passionate about a number of things, including politics, sports, and learning about what shapes the world we live in. I believe that whilst we all have our own beliefs about how the world works, we should always be looking to learn and keeping an open mind and for me these are two of most important things a person can do. When I am not studying or writing, I like to cheer for my football team Liverpool and improve my limited guitar playing skills.
