‘’You need to speak your truth’’ is a ‘live-laugh-love’ level cliché and as I let the cringe wash over me, I also need to defend it because the older I get, the more I realize that no one actually really speaks their truth? Ryan Gosling is asking Rachel McAdams ‘’WHAT DO YOU WANT???’’ and so am I as I see the cogs turning in people’s heads, the Truth is there and it’s waving at me but it’s...

You can only cross bridges when you get to them, which is why I treat GINORMOUS, LIFE-CHANGING plans as nonchalantly as my plans to meet friends for a coffee: Moving countries? Hell yeah. Finding a job and a home? How hard can it be? Meeting new people? I mean I’m surrounded by those, surely I’ll meet a few. When my plans become a reality, I often face them like a deer in the headlights but...

Cities in Greece are disorganised and chaotic. Rome is *also* disorganised and chaotic but you don’t really think about it because you are CONSTANTLY BOMBARDED with BEAUTY AND HISTORY from all sides, all the time. You see trash and graffiti? No you don’t, here’s Fontana di Trevi. Overwhelmed by tourists? You’re at the Pantheon, you’re very welcome. Are you lost? As you find your way back, walk...

I owe so much to Jan, he’s been an incredible friend, a wonderful student, he’s given me so many ideas and inspiration for so many cool things i’ve done on the islands.

Even if someone offered me a quadrillion euros and eternal health, I would never go back to school or university. That part of my life has ended, it’s over, it’s a book that’s forever shut, packed and shipped to the furthest, darkest corner of the Voltaire & Rousseau bookshop in Glasgow. But there are stories from my school years to be told, so here they are.• here's the transcript• here are...

The real queen of Britain isn’t Elizabeth II, it’s their Royal Majesties Health and Safety. They are god, they are the air we breathe, the water we drink, the fabric the national flag is sewn with. In Greece, our attitude to Health and Safety is mostly like ‘’yolo, whatever’’. But I will forever defend Greece’s (god-given) right (and privilege) to have sockets in bathrooms. IT’S FINE GUYS,...

There's a very specific sense of joy, security and pride in knowing you come from a country with exquisite cuisine. When I’m in Greece, I never worry about what and where I’m eating; I always know it will be excellent. Or, at least, very very very good. The list in this episode is not exhaustive, I forgot to mention ΑΠΑΚΙ and ΞΥΔΑΤΟ ΛΟΥΚΑΝΙΚΟ, the best meat dishes ever ever ever.• here's the...

I used to haaate the phrase ‘’the grass is greener where you water it’’ because, like, what if I don’t like grass? What if I prefer sand? Or snow? Or CONCRETE? It took me years to accept life in Glasgow but it’s hard to water the grass in a lawn you don’t even like. And then I moved to Edinburgh and created a botanical garden so here’s your life lesson for today.• here's the transcript• here...
