I was asked recently to be a guest on BBC Radio Gloucestershire to talk about the time I’ve spent working as a journalist in Pakistan.

Pakistan is a country that perhaps finds itself in the media for all the wrong reasons.

It is a country of political instability, religious intolerance and fractured relationships.  But it is also a country rich with life, culture and great people.

I have spent time working in Pakistan for both the Associated Press Television News (APTN) as a news producer and was headhunted by Dawn News Pakistan – Pakistan’s first English language news channel as a news anchor.

I have covered many amazing stories in Pakistan from bomb blasts and politics to landmark judicial rulings and fashion shows.

Pakistan has given me wonderful experiences.  But more importantly, it is where I discovered my passion for journalism and for that, I will always be grateful.

You can listen to the interview here (about one hour and nine minutes into the programme).
