Let's break the ice:
Meet your future lodger/housemate

I was aware of the situation in Newquay, but despite the current situation, I decided to come and try my luck. In an adverse situation like this I had to do something to stand out. And when your time is limited, you have to get more creative to find a solution.
 
This brought me to create this webpage to introduce myself in the best possible way to landlords and/or future housemates.

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! My name is Felipe, I’m from very far away and I’m a 35 years young IT professional. I’m a simple person who loves travelling and surfing!. People who know me describe me as a hardworking, responsible and cheerful person.

I left home to live abroad when I was 21, and I’ve done a few “crazy” things to achieve what wanted. To name some: 

– I started from scratch my studies in industrial design to stay longer in Spain.
– I learned English by going out alone to meet ups when I used to live in Madrid.
– or when I moved to Newquay 
with my backpacks to start a new life.

Why should you consider me?

I take care of your things like mine

I've lived abroad almost 15 years and I know the cost getting your own things. I've been a guest through B&Bs and Couchsurfing many times, and always in these places, I've taken care of them like if they were mine.

Flexible and responsible

I've shared flats and lived by myself in Spain and in the UK. I know what means living with others and respecting each others spaces. I'm fine socialising and also having my own time and space.

Healthy lifestyle

I don't smoke and I almost don't drink. Sometimes I can share a beer or a glass of wine. But I'm not a party person and I prefer to get up early, work on my projects, eating healthy and surfing.

FAQ

Most frequent asked questions

Basically mental health and the surfing lifestyle. I really struggled during lockdown and I really need to live near the sea. I wanted to move here a year ago, but my company didn’t allow me to do that. Now, just the fact of being here makes me happy. I want to grow in surfing and make it part of my lifestyle. Newquay seems the perfect place to do that and make new connections. I really want to know how feels to live here.

In hostels at the moment. I came here without knowing anybody. I decided to try it despite the housing situation. As a single person, I believe it could be easier to find a room for myself.

I’m Product Designer. At the moment I’ve been working freelance, but I’m now looking for a remote job to live a little bit more relaxed. I wish as well to work locally in something new I’ve never done, or even build a new local community.

At the moment due to the situation, I’m flexible to short term and long term. Short term to give me time to find something long term, but of course, I prefer something long term, minimun 6 months.

I’m ok with anything. I’m ok to share a house with other people or for myself. I prefer sharing with other people because it can be cheaper, but I’m also ok not having other flatmates. I’ve already started to make some connections in Newquay.

There is no another option than to find something. I put myself in this uncomfortable situation to try everything I can to find something to live. I believe that the right people and right place will come at the right moment. That’s why if you from someone, please share with them this page. Thank you!
