Introduction	I'm a writer, musician and sometime student, photographer or filmmaker from London. During an awesome gap year I worked at the UN in New York and as a youth worker at home, travelled to lots of different places, shot a documentary in Ghana and met many fascinating people. After that, I played saxophone in an original punk-funk fusion band that performed around the UK. From late 2008 to September 2010 I lived the life of a freelance journalist in Moscow, before taking academic hiatus until mid-2011 to complete a Politics and Russian degree at the University of Bristol.

Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?

Actually I've always wondered about that... it's probably to help people not get confused with strawberry.
