An Interview with Jonathan Shutt
When people ask you 'where are you from' what is your reply:
My quick answer is the UK. The slightly longer answer is I'm English, but have lived in NZ for the past year, Scotland for 5 years and Canada for the year before that...
When people ask 'where do you work' what's your response:
GVN - a place that organise volunteering trips...
When people then ask 'and what do you do at GVN', what it your reply:
I look after their website(s)
Why did you end up working at GVN?:
After 2 months travelling around New Zealand, I thought Wellington would be a good place to live for a while, and started looking for jobs. GVN were looking for a webdeisgner - and that's that...
What's the best thing about working for GVN?
The table tennis table...
When you're not at work, what's your favourite activity?
Finding the highest mountain in the area and trying to get the top... the more snow the better in my opinion
What's your favourite food?
aA really good pizza eaten on the street of an italian village in the sun. Food doesn't get better.
If you could be animal, what would it be?
Eagle. You get to fly around and look cool. It seems really effortless for them, not like wee birds that have to flap 500 beats a minute to keep in the air....
If you could go anywhere just now, where would it be?
On top of a snowy alpine mountain...
Who are your favourite bands/musicians?
Afro-Celt Sound System, Runrig, Peat Bog Faerries, Scissor Sisters...
