Australian Guy & his Dog

Hi Everyone,

I'm Josh, from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Shelby is my smaller-sized border collie (beagle size). We are both moving to London in mid September. (Initially, I may come over solo, and bring Shelby over at Xmas, yet to decide.)

After years working a professional career at home, I'm moving to London to further my aspirations of becoming a fiction writer; I'll be doing a Creative Writing degree at Brunel. Also, I'll work part time.

I'm active, clean, respectful, financially stable, and easy going, and I've house shared plenty of times in my life. Equal parts happy to socialise and keep to myself, I'm out doing something with Shelby twice a day. She is a very easy dog with a beautiful temperament; she'll sing to you when she sees you in the morning. Other dogs, cats, animals-generally are fine. Shelby is very friendly, and doesn't like confrontation. And I love all animals and have lots of experience, so I'm more than happy to help out with any other animals in the house :)

I read a lot, and I write a lot. I practice yoga, and I'll probably start teaching again in London. Non-smoker and non-drinker. Also, I love a good series, board games, cinema, theatre, hiking, nature, good conversation, and just getting out and about in parks and exploring London.

I'm looking for a double room that would comfortably fit a desk for study/writing, and a place with a small garden for Shelby. She doesn't need much; like I said, I take her out and exercise her twice a day, so she generally just relaxes at home, unless you want to play with her. Ultimately, we're looking to find a peaceful, long-term home full of good people to share with—not just a room.

I've listed a lot of locations, but I'm open to other areas of London too.

If this sounds like a fit—reach out. I'm happy to do a video chat on Whattsapp—with Shelby! Also happy to line up a room before arrival if it's a good fit :)

Cheers!
Josh
