Why CircleUp?
James, 26
I fell in love with Bath and Bristol while at University here, and after some time in London, I’ve found my way back. Coming back, though, I realised it’s not easy to meet people in a new city.
I’ve always loved how travelling feels so social and full of new experiences and I wanted to recreate that same energy here at home.
That’s why I started CircleUp - to bring together young people in Bristol and Bath so we can get to know each other while enjoying everything these great cities have to offer.
​
When I’m not working on CircleUp or my music app Hearplay, you’ll probably find me playing tennis, hiking, running, or diving into random space facts.

I moved to Bath from London in February and absolutely love it! I’m a nurse and studying to be a doctor. When I’m not at work, I love travelling, yoga, running, tennis, and exploring Bath - usually with a coffee in hand!

Working mostly from home, it isn’t the easiest to find and meet people in a new city and I know so many people who have this same problem. That’s why I’m so excited to help bring people together through CircleUp, to meet new people and share experiences!
