WHEN POSSIBLE, I'M HAPPY TO MEET UP FOR A DRINK/WALK/CONVERSATION BUT I CANNOT HOST ANYONE IN JULY OR AUGUST 2015.

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

One common memory from my travels is of how welcoming and friendly ordinary people are all over the World. I would like to offer that same welcome and friendship to people who come to visit my beautiful home city of Edinburgh.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would want others to treat you.
