Looking for a new home for cat Ruby and me

My name is Mareike, I am 42 years old and a photographer.  I work mainly with charities and also teach photography.  I am quiet happy to say that my work also is greatest passion because I meet a lot of interesting people and learn a lot through it. And my work allows me to travel , pre-covid I mean but hopefully soon again. I am from Germany but have lived in a few different countries and am in London since 4 years.
Right now I live next to London fields and I would love to stay in Hackney,  not only to keep up my daily swim at either the lido or the water reservoir but also because I feel home in this area.
I am vegan and love cooking and baking but even more eating together with others.
I am looking for a home rather than a house, a place where I can enjoy the company of my housemates but also can have my alone time. I lived in shared houses before and also in shared communities. For me it is important to respect each others space and also be open to hang out and enjoy a good time together, preferably with good food.
I come as a double with my cat Ruby, she's around 10 years old and an old and sleepy lady. She is a bit shy, I got her from the rescue. I love music, travel, swimming,  cycling, reading and enjoying life.
If you have any question please let me know.
