La dolce vita

About amusicum

My name is Aoife, a travelling cello-playing foodie fanatic, zumba zealot and social scientist! I am studying for a PhD in cultural studies, King's College London.  However, I often consider this role secondary to my calling as a world nomad: this year alone I have travelled to Marrakesh, Vienna, Limerick and Lisbon.  

I consider myself to be a highly organized, inquisitive and creative individual.  As a musician and keen cook, I dwell in the realm of sensations.  In this vein, I treat each new place as an amalgam of idiosyncratic sights, sounds, colours and scents.  As an academic, I am a meticulous planner, which enables me to make the most of every trip.  However, I write with an exuberant flair and nuanced sensitivity that goes beyond dry textbooks.  Travel writing is where my heart really lies.
