Good to meet you ... Matt Sharpe

Good to meet you ... Matt Sharpe

I'm a 33-year-old Scottish expat and a father of two kids under four. I've read the Guardian daily since university 15 years ago when I was drawn to its political reporting and analysis as part of my studies – in particular the paper's take on the Scottish devolution process at the time. Before I had kids I was an avid reader of the travel section, but now that we've decided to settle in the one place for a while – Sydney, Australia – my most read sections are the paper's international political coverage and, more recently, technology and media – essential reading as I work in digital media. I also enjoyed a recent feature on UK expats in the money section. My favourite writers include George Monbiot, Charlie Brooker and Simon Jenkins. Living in Australia, I don't have access to the printed edition, so most of my reading is done via the Guardian website or through Apple's iOS apps. I am more than aware that the Guardian is recognised as one of the boldest, most innovative and forward-looking digital publications in the world. Comment is free and the science and data sections, for example, offer something that no comparable publication anywhere in the world provides.
