About me: I’m an urban planner and I work a lot. I have a hybrid set up, but am often out of the house in the evenings since I also work a various fitness studios. Big into health and fitness, I cook a lot. Keep common areas clean. Looking for a good fit since home should be a sanctuary. Would be nice to have a friendly roommate I can chat with from time to time. I’m pretty easy going, don’t have people over too often.
