About the host
Hosted by Paul
Hi, I’m Paul — originally from a finance background, but now working remotely while exploring different parts of the world. Travel has always been a big part of my life, and I love connecting with people from all over.
Although I’m not based in Edinburgh full-time, I have a great local team who help ensure everything runs smoothly. I'm always just a message away if you need anything before or during your stay — and I’ll do my best to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable visit.
I’m also half Argentinian and speak fluent Spanish — feel free to contact me in Spanish if you prefer.
Looking forward to hosting you!
