I never thought when I began that I would end up where I am now, but it has always been fun. I was very lucky because after working for BBC World Service for six years, I'd been asked to go to Moscow, and during my stint there, the Soviet Union collapsed. It was probably one of the biggest stories of our lifetime, and in a way it was the most exciting thing that happened to me. I've also been to the Siberian prison; in Chechnya just before the Civil War began; I went to the rural areas of Columbia to talk to the paramilitary just before they negotiated peace with the government, so it was scary, but very interesting. Life has just never been boring!
