Home is Cape Town, but home from home these days is Phnom Penh.

I lived here from 2001-2003 when I was the managing editor of the Phnom Penh Post newspaper. I returned to Cambodia in early 2009, and until March 2012 have worked as the country correspondent for the German Press Agency dpa.

I have also submitted radio news and features to Radio Australia, Voice of America, Deutsche Welle and the Independent newspaper in the UK.

I am currently on sabbatical from journalism and will soon start writing my book on the trial of Comrade Duch - you can read about him on my website - and one of his victims. I expect to return to journalism later this year.

Since mid-2010 I have been the president of the Overseas Press Club of Cambodia, an association of foreign journalists. The OPCC stands for press freedom and related issues, and brings together like-minded people on media issues. Here is the link to the OPCC website: www.opccambodia.org
