Hmmm… Bad week to ask this. Mostly just press briefings and conspiracy theories. But I did see a bumper sticker that said: “Eat a turtle, save the straws.”

Gone Girl is a must-read, even if you’ve already seen the film! I recently re-read John Hersey’s Hiroshima, a masterpiece of non-fiction writing.

Titanic and Titanic… I really love Titanic.

All-time favourite? It has to be Game of Thrones – so many quotes from that show live rent-free in my mind. Recently? House of the Dragon (can you see the trend?).

First, my dad has a solution to every problem, so he’s definitely coming along. Second, Yusuf Dikeç, the Turkish Olympian who was shooting at the Olympics, for safety purposes. Third, Raygun, the Australian breakdancer, because why not?

I’m originally from Namibia, so that would be cheating… But maybe Lebanon or Cuba.

Bees. I’m terrified of bees.

Probably Marie Colvin’s biography, In Extremis. She’s the reason I fell in love with journalism in the first place. That, and my phone cover – I drop it at least once a day.

With copious amounts of caffeine.

That’s a tough one. Maybe that it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission (thanks Dad).

Teleportation.

I’m actually re-listening to Pure Heroine from Lorde. It’s the best pop album ever, and everyone who disagrees is wrong.

 I think it could be great! We were scared of the printing press, then the internet, and now AI, but it has the potential to be such a powerful tool.

I want to say something fancy here, but I eat an unhealthy amount of cheese toasties (So happy I’m not lactose intolerant).

My mother.

I was a bartender for an event on someone’s farm when I was in my early years of high school, so probably that. I also used to sell rocks to my peers, telling them they were diamonds, in Grade 1.

The people! And the passion they have for everything.

If I sang karaoke they would kick me out.

I went to a friend’s 21st, the theme was something along the lines of “wedding with a dysfunctional family” and I went as the drunk uncle. Hands down the best theme for any party!

Muscles and cream cheese on Salticrax.
