Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To not let my flatmates bedroom go to waste whilst he stays back in Germany for a while!
ABOUT ME
I live in a very central and pretty part of the city near the Meadows which is Edinburgh's 'Central Park'. It's mainly populated with students studying at the nearby University. There are many cafe's, bars and second hand shops in my area too. The actual city centre is only a short walk away saving you money on lots of transport.
I actually have a spare bedroom as my flatmate is back home in Germany for a couple of months.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would just like to be a good samaritan to like minded people and show them some beautiful spots in this beautiful city.
Interests
My favourite things are cooking, even if it's just for myself I find it very good therapy. Cycling is another thing I love doing especially at night round the streets of Edinburgh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Over the last few years I've been in the Sahara desert, slinking about Marrakech on my own and braving stormy seas.
My last trip was looking after a cat in Chinatown Paris which was great. Free accomodation for looking after a cat! Paris was excellent.
Teach, Learn, Share
Edinburgh can be quite expensive and tourists often miss out on the more interesting parts of the City so I would be happy to show or advise them on good but cheap places to eat and drink and also places to visit that most tourists would miss.
