I discovered a fantastic new use for Twitter that I plan to use on many of my future travels – and again, I owe it all to Andy.

Exploring Edinburgh
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 11 June 2009
I’ve always heard good things about the city of Edinburgh and I have to say that it fully lives up to its reputation. I’m here to celebrate my birthday tomorrow and I couldn’t have picked a better place to do it. I really love cities with a medieval feel- cities with cobblestone streets, Gothic [...]
