Hey - My name is Tristan. I'm 34 years old, with light brown hair, blue eyes, average looks.
Mostly these days I'm involved as a freelance writer, although I'm also qualified as teacher of social sciences, humanities and English. I dearly want to succeed in my writing - but also to be paid well (without having to compromise) .
I'm also thinking about either travelling or beginning a PhD in Politics some time in the future. In the meantime, I'm hoping to get a 'head start' on a doctorate (and hopefully a book) by researching and writing about areas of special interest to me.
I have written for many magazines and journals - both online and regular publications.
I enjoy writing, eating out, movies, walking, talking about social issues and theory, politics etc.
Interested in reaching people with my work - to really make a difference. The more people I reach, the better. And provoking debate and response - is part of the journey.
