Nissan - the preferred auto for Chile's car thieves. Photo by Thomas Derricott About the writer![]() Thomas DerricottA native to the salt-spattered shores of Sydney, Thomas travelled to Chile in hopes of expanding his horizons as a writer. After six months of completo bingeing pisco abuse, he awoke from his stupor to actually make good on his resolution.
As a Valparaiso-based exchange student, Thomas juggles his sporadic university timetable with an internship at the ST’s Valparaiso wing, churning out pseudo-journalistic offerings whenever his battered liver permits. Thomas harbours a specific interest in culture and feature articles, and hopes to fuse a career in writing with his penchant for murky sub-cultures and cutting edge methods of debauchery. |
