About occupants
I'm 42 and work full-time in the housing sector, Monday to Friday. I generally split my week between working from home two days and being in the office three days, although my schedule can vary.

I'm easy-going, friendly, sociable and drama-free (unless it's the entertaining kind!). I enjoy a good chat and sharing a laugh, but equally value personal space, independence and privacy. I'm very mindful of respecting those boundaries when sharing a home, and I like everyone to feel comfortable and at ease.

I have a passion for travel, culture, great food and outdoor adventures. During the week, I enjoy catching up with friends over dinner, spending time with family or having a relaxed evening at home, occasionally with a cheeky glass of wine or two.

Weekends are a mix of socialising, exploring new places, scenic hikes, dining out or enjoying a fun night out. Equally, I'm happy spending an entire weekend relaxing at home and doing very little.

I enjoy a social atmosphere, but this isn't a party house, and I don't bring the party home. I'm looking for someone friendly, considerate and independent who appreciates a relaxed, clean welcoming home where we can enjoy each other's company while respecting our own space.
Compatible people
I appreciate people who have goals, a sense of purpose and a positive outlook on life (although having your life completely figured out is definitely not a requirement; I'm still working on that myself!).

I'm looking for a housemate who's easy-going, friendly, independent and up for the occasional dinner, cheeky drink or good laugh. Someone who's sociable and enjoys a chat rather than permanently disappearing into their bedroom like a mysterious Airbnb guest.

I value honesty, mutual respect, accountability and good communication. A drama-free home is the goal - life's dramatic enough without turning the living room into an episode of The Real Housewives!

I'm very open-minded and love meeting people from all walks of life. Different cultures, backgrounds, personalities and perspectives are always welcome.

Ultimately, I'm looking for someone who feels comfortable making themselves at home, enjoys a little banter and respects each other's space.

If that sounds like you, let's have a chat!
