More about the accommodation seeker:
My name is Patrick, I’m a 38 year old living in Northern Ireland and working in Financial Services. Recently I have thought about the possibility of working from another location in England (Birmingham or Manchester - so I’d like to find a place commutable to any of these cities), which is an option available to me in my job. Working in another location would allow me the experience of living somewhere else, meeting new people and may also provide other career opportunities.
I’m looking for somewhere short-term for now (happy to discuss what’s available), purely just to see how my experience goes, and if all goes well, I can look at something more longer term. I'm also flexible with any start date. I’ll travel back and forth from Northern Ireland to any new place fairly regularly during my short-term stay (to check in with my mum who I currently live with in Northern Ireland), so I may only be staying a few days a week and there may be weeks that I’ll not be there at all, but I’m still more than happy to pay the full room price and half all bills for the entire period despite me not using anything for certain periods.
I try to live my life consistent with my faith, and it would be great to meet others with faith who try to live their lives by it as well. I don’t attend a particular church, but my faith is always present in everyday life and I read my bible quite a bit. I like gardening (though any new place doesn’t need to have a garden! - I’ve attached a picture of my garden at home :), I do different bits of DIY from time to time (happy to help with bits around the house) and I’ve also recently taken up running. I’d also be happy to do things with any new housemates whether it’s playing board games, visiting places or going out for a night. I can work from home in my role, so it would be nice to have the ability to work from home at any new place, though I can also travel to the office in the city centre if it is within a commutable distance, and work from home more when I am back in Northern Ireland. If you think this setup could work with what you are looking for then we can chat some more.
