Hello! I'm posting to try to find a new friend from the U.K. or Ireland to spend time chatting on the phone with. I don't really enjoy texting too much so the phone call part is important. I'm very sound focused and really enjoy listening to certain Irish and Scottish accents, so that would be a bonus ;)

Here is a sample of my voice https://voca.ro/1nFHYv079txd

I’d like to find someone to form a good friendship with and speak to regularly if we get on well. I would prefer if you’re single, just because I don’t feel comfortable being close with someone who is in a relationship without also knowing their partner (which is difficult online).

A bit about me: I’m from the U.K. I’m currently living in a rural part of England but would like to move back to the city soon. I do love getting out in nature though, especially in or near water. Wild swimming is one of my favourite things to do.

I’m an active member of my community union which is very rewarding, but I’m also happy spending quite a bit of time at home with my cat. I’m always listening to music (mainly alt/indie/rock/electronica/alt pop/post punk and adjacent genres) and I’d really like to go to more gigs this year. My other main entertainment tends to be YouTube videos, livestreams, podcasts or audiobooks.

My left wing political views are important to me and it’s something that tends to come up in conversation a lot, so if you find that off putting then I’m probably not the friend for you.

I’m not brilliant at small talk but I really like getting in to deep conversation about the things that matter and learning about the way other people experience life. I would love to know what you’re passionate about, how you think about the world, what inspires and scares you.

I also want someone to laugh with because honestly how else do we cope with the perils of existing in this capitalist hellscape?

I love animals so if you have a pet please tell me about them!

If you message please include your age and location and a bit about yourself. Please also note that I don’t like to exchange pictures (send or receive) or video call.
