Katie Hughes

Hi, tell us a bit about yourself…

I’m a student at Newcastle University. I like dancing like a fool, hot Ribena, burgers and bbqs on the beach and travelling.

What is the last book you read and why should we read it?

The Beach. To be honest  I was missing the sun and I thought this would be a good cure. A good book, better than the film

How long have you been a v volunteer?

I would say it is just over a month now.

What types of v volunteer activities have you been involved in so far?

I came at a great time really. I helped out with the new Franko B exhibition, painting walls, handing out leaflets, painting walls, helping with the artwork and much more painting of the walls.

We would love to know what your passions and interests are…

I love visiting art galleries.  I used to study architecture and that is what I always wanted to do, design the galleries, museums and libraries. Anywhere where the general public could go and be inspired. My other main passion is traveling. I love to keep moving around not knowing where you are going to be spending your next night, meeting so many great people and seeing so many uniquely different places on the way.

And finally, what are your plans for thre future?

I would love to be involved in gallery in some way. Hopefully in a different country, preferably one where the sun shines occasionally.

Thanks Katie, don’t leave the country without saying goodbye!
