Mel

My name is Mel, I'm a teacher who loves backpacking, art, books, music and nature.

I'm considerate, clean, pay my bills on time and I can cook up a pretty tasty communal feast but I do like my own space as I'm a bit of an introvert at times.

I started writing a book in lockdown which is a belated journal of my experiences travelling around the world fused with my formative years, so I can disappear into a painting/writing bubble on occasion.
I found my old typewriter from high school and easel from university so I'm embracing my creativity and going out less.

I'm looking for a home that is a sanctuary with a kindred spirit or two.
Ideally I would love a home with a garden as being outdoors makes me feel more relaxed.

I love markets, visiting opshops, going to the cinema to watch old movies or classics and am a bit of a bookclub nerd. I've started Roller-skating again and am working up the courage to attempt roller derby.

I've lived in sharehouses all my life, from my first, living with surfers in London to my last one, in Thornbury with the best hammocks and veggie garden and flatmates who became best mates.
I would love to find a little community again.
