Postdoc looking for room - new to Bristol!

On my PhD fieldwork in Congo!

Hi! I'm Charlie, a 27 year-old ecologist. I just moved to Bristol in late November, to start a 3 year postdoctoral research associate role at the University of Bristol, and returned from three months of fieldwork in Ghana in late May. I'm looking for a relaxing and bright home to rent for three months or more from the start of June. I'm looking ideally for somewhere within ~15 minutes (by bike) of Bristol Uni campus, such as Cotham/Redland/Clifton, but generally flexible!

I'm an social, easygoing and adventurous person. I enjoy spending time with my flatmates, and would hope to get to know you rather than just being a cohabitant, but also happy being more independent. I've lived in the same flat in London for the past 4.5 years, with a constantly rotating cast of flatmates who I remain good friends with - I'd love to do the same in Bristol. I am a keen cook, enjoy listening to music, watching movies and playing board games with my friends, and also getting out into the countryside for some hiking and camping. As a housemate, I am clean, tidy, respectful and undemanding. I don't smoke, but enjoy sharing a drink with friends on a Saturday night.

I work as a tropical insect ecologist, so would be away for a several months of the year to visit fieldwork sites in Malaysia, Brazil and Ghana. Most of my working time in Bristol would be spent in the laboratory, so I will be out of the house throughout most working days.

I don't (yet) have the paid version of spareroom - so if I look suitable for your place, please reach out!
