My name is Jennifer Hamilton, I am 28, I live in Sydney Australia, and I am in the final stages of a PhD in English Literature. This blog began as a blog about my adventures on my bike, and was designed to indirectly demonstrate how easy it is to navigate Sydney on a bike. But it is now just a blog about my interests and research.
More specifically, I am a perennial student with a Bachelor Art Theory from COFA, and an Honours in English from UNSW. From 2005-2009 I worked with the Tamarama Rock Surfers at the Old Fitzroy Theatre; eventually managing the venue, then the company, and then occasionally producing plays.
In 2011 I plan to finish my PhD and also complete a project entitled “Walking in the Rain” for Performance Space. I am also a committee member for PEN Sydney. And I am working with Quarterbred on the 2011 Tiny Stadiums Festival in May.
I am also a freelance reviewer of film, theatre and visual arts,I’ve been published by New Matilda and Das Superpaper, and of course, publish them all the time here on my blog. So, please email me at jennifer mae hamilton at g mail dot com, if you wanna let me know about anything I might like to ride to and then write about – with enough notice I may be able to pitch the article for publication. And email me if you’d like to make contact for other reasons too!
When you decide to go on holiday, go cycle touring. Its the best (or one of them) ways to travel the world.
On one of my blogs there’s a woman who goes touring on her bike with her cello on a bob trailer behind her.
I wouldn’t like to try that but its interesting. I myself just take my bike and head to outback places.
