food I don’t really have a favourite dish, but I do miss American-style ice cream and peanut butter! /

europe_is a passion. I studied European history at university and since then I’ve been hooked. I’m fascinated by the EU integration process and by the potential for the block to become a ‘third superpower’ in the 21st century, acting in a centre ground between the United States and China. I am equally as interested in the enormous challenges the union faces in achieving this, and in whether or not the people of Europe have signed up to the idea! /

preferred_website Well this probably wouldn’t be of much interest to Europeans but it’s www.wonkette.com. It’s a DC politics gossip site. /

why_participate Outside of my professional reporting I keep a blog covering ‘European politics from an American perspective’ at www.GulfStreamBlues.com. I thought this would be a good forum to further engage with Europeans on the subject, and hear points of view from around the continent. /
