Some personal news: after more than six years, I’m leaving RNZ at the end of May. There are too many highlights to list, but I’ll especially treasure my four years in the Press Gallery and brief stint as Foxton correspondent. It’s been rewarding, challenging and so much fun.
I’m heading back to the UK after 19 years down under. I’ll be travelling around Europe for a month or two before settling down in London. If you know of any jobs going around that time or can put me in touch with someone who does, do let me know!
