Place I love this place (Putney, London), the streets, the river, the beautiful parks it excites me and I want to share that with People.
Daniel Doherty (once got called a Happiness Evangelist and the name stuck!) was born in Glasgow. He moved every three to four years during his childhood (due to his father's work) and lived in two German cities as well Yorkshire before he was eight years old. Daniel has been around the world twice (so far!), so it's as if he was born to travel and meet people. But Daniel always struggled with the concept of 'home' until 1995 when he went to Roehampton University and discovered Putney.
Daniel wanted to share that excitement using technology, he set up the facebook Page for Putney in 2009 to share the best bits going on, then subsequently set up 3 Twitter accounts, built a community website and now runs a meetup group with 6,000+ members to bring people together in Putney. Above are the links to these community resources but if you look around you we hope you have similar in the area you live, if not it’s getting easier and easier to set something similar up where ever you are in the world.
I challenge you to look a little closer to the area you live, get excited by the place and the local people. If a friend from a different country visits, rather than take them to a tourist trap why not help them “discover your place, like a local?”.
