About me
I live and work in Edinburgh. In my spare time I enjoy mountain climbing and write short fiction. I love any opportunity to travel and explore, whether that be in Scotland or further afield.
Why Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a vibrant city with a great deal of history. It’s a relaxed place but it has a lot to offer and is constantly evolving. The festivals it hosts are fantastic and attract artists from all over the world, I love having all that it has to offer on my doorstep and often feel like I’m on a permanent city break!
