About Jemma Armstrong

About Me

I love to travel, and like to do unusual things while I'm at it! I've trekked for Charity in China and Kenya, been to the Dalai Llama's residence (didn't see him though sadly!) and scuba dived in the Red Sea.

Occupation

Work on the projects in the City of London to address domestic violence and ASB amongst other things.

Likes

Chocolate, pizza, travel, sunshine

Dislikes

Shellfish (although I'll eat anything when I have to), tardiness, people standing around looking at each other when a volunteer is called for, credit card bills!

Why I Joined

This idea really appeals to me - I like to travel in a way that isn't going to stay in some plush resort.

Hobbies

Salsa dancing when I can find time to go to a class, scuba diving when I can afford to!

Books I Love

Shantaram, anything by Chuck Palahniuk, ditto David Mitchell, Tom Robbins and Salman Rushdie, The Book Thief.

Music I Love

Kate Bush, Korn, Fall Out Boy, Newton Faulkner, even a bit of Britney Spears. It really depends on my mood!!

Films I Love

Rules of Attraction, Love Story, Blade, Labyrinth, 28 Days Later

Party Trick

I can salsa dance, although that's not much of a trick.

Why Me?

Because I said so.

Tribal Skills

Salsa dancing! Baking, TEFL qualification, DIY, lateral thinking, willingness to give most things a go.

My Favourite Quote

You have to accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
