WE'VE been asking our readers what they like about living in Newport and Gwent.

If you want to be part of it just go to www.southwalesargus.co.uk/mynewport and fill out the Q&A. If you live in a different part of Gwent answer the questions as if they were asked about your area, but tell us what that area is.

This week we meet 29-year-old student Sophie Sherwin.

South Wales Argus: Me.

How long have you lives in Newport?

Born in Newport, travelled to Birmingham/Coventry. Stayed there for under a year and came home.

What do you like most about living in Newport?

The diversity of the city.

Favourite place for a takeaway and why?

Burger&Co. Honestly, the best burger I have ever tasted!

Dragons or County?

Dragons! I was brought up on rugby. I'll still cheer on the County though!

MORE NEWS:

Best memory of your time living here?

Working in the city centre, I met some wonderful characters. Even though I haven't worked there for almost eight years, I still speak to my regular customers when I see them out and about!

Favourite Newport pub?

Le Pub! Two words, Trevor Nelson. If you know, you know.

What one thing that has gone do you miss the most?

Burlington's cafe in the market. Nothing better than finishing a night shift and heading for a breakfast!

Favourite building in the city?

St Woolos Cathedral. I love the architecture. I always tell people when walking through the High Street to look up as they walk so they can take in the beauty of the buildings which is often not seen because no one looks up.

Favourite place to grab a coffee?

Starbucks! Always a friendly team, and always some familiar faces there to sit with.

Where would you go for a special meal and why?

Gemellis. Absolutely wonderful food.

South Wales Argus: Pasquale and Sergio Cinotti with the pasta dish that is for sale at their restaurant Gemelli in Newport which they will donate £2 to the Red Cross to help victims of the Italian earthquake for every dish sold.

Best place for a walk?

The sea wall. My favourite place to blow away the cobwebs. Not too far to get to, and a lovely walk.

If you had a magic wand what one wish would you grant Newport?

To bring back our High Street and rid the centre of graffiti. So many wonderful things have been ruined.

Three places anyone visiting the city should make the effort to go?

Caerleon, for the Romans. The Transporter Bridge, because it's a historical landmark. Fourteen Locks, also for the history.

Choose one thing Newport should be really proud about?

We should be proud because we are an amazing city, with amazing people. I've never been anywhere quite like it.
