Overview
About Me
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
Be Happy and Stay Happy
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.
