About me
I am a writer, bodyworker, walking artist and psychogeographer living in Edinburgh. I have an extensive travel blog and my writing/walkshops have been featured in the Wee Review, The List, Caught By the River, Walking Artists Network, Social Art Library, the Urban Tree Festival, 4WCoP and Walking Encounters. Death and Loss in Shiatsu Practice was published in 2020.
Why Edinburgh?
The best parts of Edinburgh are the green spaces. Then again there is the proximity to the sea. There are also seven hills actually inside the city boundaries and easy access to the Borders and the Highlands. Plus, the culture and cafes are amazing. What’s not to love!
