I’m a woman in my early fifties who works and studies part-time and enjoys writing, travelling, cooking, wine, reading, and sailing. I’m slightly on the introverted side, so I often retreat to write or read, but I’m very respectful of shared spaces and routines. I appreciate both deep conversations and relaxed, spontaneous chats, and I’m rebuilding my social network after returning from extended time overseas. I recently sublet a place for a few weeks while the tenant was abroad and got on extremely well with the two flatmates. I would have stayed longer if it had been possible. This time I’m looking for a longer-term place to settle into.
