# Who?
## I am

I currently live in East Anglia (i. e. Suffolk), fairly close to where I was born and grew up

I WFH (except when I'm contracting in-house) as a software/web developer & designer and run my own business

I travelled abroad (i. e. EU) for most of the past decade and returned to the UK in 2020. Property ownership is awkward with self-employment and renting is awkward with a pet so, until I find something suitable long-term, lodging is filling the gap.

I'm mindful about working to live (rather than living to work 😩) so I can indulge my other interests and spend time outdoors with my dog (i. e. 7 year old, unneutered male, field-bred English Springer Spaniel - delightful dog, no issues, kept extremely clean)

I do some part-time work and/or volunteering with local community-supported agriculture and will try to continue this if/when I move and extend this to disability / mental health type orgs in 2024; after some recent diagnoses myself (i. e. ADHD, ASD, GAD), which I can be super candid about if you care to know..?

Besides typical ND stuff I would describe my personality as aware, creative, curious, empathetic (🤔🫠), hopeful, humble, mindful, patient, stoic

Interests:
- Activism
- Comedy
- DIY (e. g. woodwork)
- Equality (e. g. neurodiversity)
- Ethics
- Health (e. g. exercise, food, nutrition)
- Media (e. g. music, podcasts, books, films, tv)
- Nature (e. g. animals, environment)
- Philosophy (e. g. minimalism, simplicity, degrowth, under-engineering)
- Politics
- Sustainability
- Technology (e. g. design, software/web development)

# What?
## We want

To live in:
- nature, fresh air and open space (or close to)
- a clean, tidy, functional home where problems are solved/resolved (because life is messy enough 😩)
- a quiet, peaceful, stress-free home where we can focus and/or relax any time

To live with someone who:
- cares & shares
- communicates (directly, effectively and often) & compromises
- is more introvert (prefers 1-2-1 vs. 1-2-many)
- is open & honest
- helps rather than hinders

# Where?

East Anglia would be ideal, for family reasons, but open to explore other UK areas (inc. Wales, Scotland)

# When?

Flexible
