I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment.
Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
In Switzerland it’s mostly cows that have bells around their necks, but dogs, cats, goats, reindeer and even camels also wear them in other lands. The practice dates back thousands of years, and you can learn more about it at the History and Ethnology Museum in St Gallen, which has a unique collection. (Julie Hunt, Thomas Lüchinger)
