About me

Hellooooo I’m Kelly and originally from Hong Kong but now on a working holiday in the UK and have moved to Manchester since 2025. I don’t really have any goals in life or a particular passion for anything so i’m always just wandering around by myself to see what really sparks my interest. Currently I’m into photography but very amateur, and also gardening i’m planting some strawberries and they are growing very well:)) Oh I also like music and movies, i know everyone has a Slipknot phase but i’m still in mine, i used to work in a cinema as an usher just to take a sneak peek at the new movies during breaks, love me Ghibli, my favourite animes of all time are Fullmetal Alchemist and Evangelion (I know pretty basic but based) My native language is Cantonese but I’m also fluent in Mandarin and English, know a bit of Japanese and Spanish which I definitely want to be more fluent! Also i love the cartoon show Moomin, it’s my dream to visit Finland and see them in Moomin World, maybe i can meet Santa Claus as well :)) I’m planning to travel around the UK and Europe before my 26th birthday in November so look forward to seeing you all beautiful faces xx

Hi! I’m Maristel. I’m from Peru, but I currently live in Manchester, UK🇬🇧 I work in marketing, and I recently finished a master’s degree in sustainability. I love traveling and creating connections with people from around the world🌎 Something I love about this continent (Europe) is the diversity of the people living here💛It’s amazing to see how good connections can be formed among individuals from very different countries, cultures, religions, etc. I think that’s beautiful! Even though I’m very new in Manchester, I’m happy to give advice to travelers coming here or to the UK in general :)

Manchester

About me

Hello! I'm Jess, from Wales via Manchester! I'm into music, hiking, nature, and general good times. I'm currently in Koh Tao in Thailand, exploring and doing my diving qualification - planning to go to North Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam over the next 6 months or so. Hoping to find somewhere I can settle for a month or two, meet wonderful people, and have unforgettable experiences! I'm a lightweight digital nomad, I work for a day or two a week if anyone would like to work together (finding it hard to get motivated). Otherwise I would love to meet for drinks or dinner, swims, parties, coffees - I'm pretty sociable and outgoing but also enjoy chilling out. Hope to meet you soon!
