👋 Me:
I’m Sophie, an early 30s Aussie turned passionate Londoner working in music.
I’m easy going, fun, perpetually curious and big on open communication and kindness. I’m an equal fan of a night out or in, am extremely sociable, chatty (except when I’m dissociating on Instagram), friendly and have a pretty famous sense of humour.
I love markets, gigs, theatre, festivals, long walks, good food, a good boogie, Netflix nights on the sofa, nights out, a great yap, and my 5 star friends.
Also up for an adventure when called upon.
Since it’s just gonna be you and me, finding the right fit is super important. Looking for someone who can grow into being a friend, not just a flatmate, especially going into cosy season..

🤞🏽You (specific I know; but also intentional)
* Gals only (sorry lads)
* Late 20s-mid 30s
* Working professionals or freelancers welcome, but someone who mostly doesn’t WFH (the room won’t fit a desk)
* Someone who has their own life but is up for hanging out (or in!)
* Sociable, friendly, easy going, genuine and can communicate (no pass ag post it notes or emails around here)
* Clean, tidy and respectful of our home
* Bonus points if you’re creative, open, love music, food, are single & up for activities and seeing the bright side.
* Extra bonus points if you’re a plant mum and will fill our flat with green things you can keep alive (I cannot)

This was the first place I truly called home after I moved to London and needed a safe space to land. I moved in (to this bedroom!) left and came back because it was meant to be, and now it’s been over 2 years. The original flatmate was a total stranger who has now become one of my best friends. I remember (vividly) how awful flat hunting was, and I am hopeful this magic flat can be the same for someone else and bring a new awesome person into the mix.

(Current flatmate is another friend moving out with her boyfriend. Last one did too. Come join me in glorious spinsterhood 🙌)

✨ If you’re interested, please read this through and see if you think we’d be a good fit, then shoot me a DM with some info about yourself and we can go from there!
