In an interview with Edinburgh Live, Travis described what his past week has been like.“It’s been hard”, he said. “On Wednesday (November 20) another homeless dude was threatening me because he wanted my spot.

I told him this is my spot, and he said to me, I'm just trying to make some money to get charged. He said he was going to kick my head in - I said ‘go ahead and get it done then because I’ve been through more shit than anyone should go through.“On Thursday, I felt like my body was numb.
