Excellent knowledge of InDesign and Photoshop. I am also familiar with QuarkXPress and Adobe Illustrator.
I spent five months of 2005 in working in Shanghai and travelling in the surrounding area. After working in New York in 2005, I then visited most of the East Coast and travelled across the Midwest through Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio and Wisconsin. In 2007, I spent eight weeks travelling along the Trans-Siberian railway from Beijing via Mongolia to Moscow, an experience I wrote about for the Times Online and Smartshanghai.com.
On other, shorter trips I have travelled to Hong Kong, Ghana, Egypt and much of Western and Easter Europe.
