Edinburgh, UK

Hi, I'm Kat a female business owner in Edinburgh, Scotland. I run small group and private walking tours. I specialise in Scottish history, film tourism (Harry Potter and Outlander) and the dark side of the witchcraft hunts in Edinburgh. I reside in one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the UK - Leith.

Dina Tae

London, UK

Heya, my name is Dina Tae. I'm 29 years old from the UK, and half British and half Jamacian. At 21, I left my studies as a pediatric nurse to explore the world, first I lived in Thailand for 8 months and then New Zealand for 1.5 years before returning to the UK. Since then, I've continued to run away from the UK, having visited 33 countries. I created a travel website this year, foreverlivingyes.com, to help others explore the world, too. My style is Boujee but on a budget. I find amazing 4 or 5-star packaged holidays or hotels with a premium vibe but at lower rates. Finding these amazing deals usually takes hours and patience, but I'm here to offer my time to help you live your best YES too!
