I am a freelance English teacher living and working in London. Mostly, I work with teenagers and young adults online, 1-1 on literature and humanities. I especially like working on poetry and plays with them, so if you stay with me you'll see a lot of books on the shelves. I love theatre and am interested in many aspects of culture and politics. I am gay, and have a long-term partner. I welcome guests of all stripes. 

The thing I love most about Shoreditch is the buzzy atmosphere: it is full of vibrancy, colour, different people, locals, visitors, different economic and social groups. It's truly cosmopolitan. I've lived in New York and LA and I've travelled to other great cities, but I always end up thinking that East London is the best. While I love the buzz, I also like to be able to shut the door on it at the end of the day and cook or visit friends for dinner. 

As an Airbnb host, my aim is to make my guests feel at home, by being on hand for friendly chat, or giving them privacy as they prefer. My own room is really big and I spend time with my boyfriend who lives nearby. Often, I'm happy to leave the living room with its dining table and TV to guests of an evening. As an Airbnb guest, I've enjoyed some great conversations with hosts and have also appreciated privacy and discretion and practise this policy myself as a host. 

I work from home these days (since Covid), from my bedroom, so I am likely to be around in the daytime. I visit my local CrossFit gym most days for at least an hour. Sundays, I might be looking for a bargain at Colombia Road flower market, visiting family out of town, or seeing friends for Sunday roast. I appreciate good coffee and can point guests in the direction of the best coffee spots around (of which there are many).  

As well as the guest room, I also list my ENTIRE FLAT for guests who want 2 bedrooms and more privacy. I plan trips away to facilitate this, or stay with my boyfriend, who lives nearby.
