Hi there! I’m based in Edinburgh with my adventurous dog, Otis. When the weather’s kind, you’ll often find us skatejoring through the city’s green belt,our favourite way to enjoy the outdoors. I also have a passion for travelling and camping in the breathtaking Highlands. I love hosting because it gives me the freedom to work on my own terms while sharing a distinctive space in the heart of historic Edinburgh. As someone who values independence and quiet, hosting allows me to connect with people in a way that feels both meaningful and manageable.
Edinburgh’s New Town is elegant, grand, and meticulously planned—very different in character from the more medieval Old Town. Built in stages from the late 18th century onwards, it was designed to be a modern contrast to the cramped and chaotic Old Town, with wide streets, spacious squares, and symmetrical layouts inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment. Edinburgh’s New Town is rich in culture, shopping, and elegant green spaces. Highlights include the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, the Georgian House at Charlotte Square, and the iconic Scott Monument. You’ll find upscale shopping on George Street and Multrees Walk, while Princes Street offers stunning Castle views. Foodies can enjoy top spots like Dishoom and The Dome, and cocktail lovers will find hidden gems like Bramble and Panda & Sons. Nearby, Calton Hill and Princes Street Gardens provide scenic escapes, all within easy walking distance.
