# How to Write a High-Quality Compass Bio
|
||
|
||
A strong bio is the heart of Compass. It helps others understand who you are, what you care about, and the type of connections you seek. Use the sections below as a guide — include what feels meaningful, and feel free to expand or combine sections as needed.
|
||
|
||
## 1. **Introduction**
|
||
|
||
- Briefly introduce yourself: name/nickname, age, languages spoken, location, and general lifestyle.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
_Hi, I’m Lily, a 28-year-old living in Paris. I speak English and French fluently, work in environmental research, and love exploring creative hobbies on weekends._
|
||
|
||
## 2. **Connection Goals**
|
||
|
||
- Specify what types of connections you’re seeking: friendship, romantic, collaborative, or multiple.
|
||
- Include your **availability**, timezone, and how you prefer to communicate.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
_I’m looking for deep, meaningful friendships and long-term collaborative projects. I’m in CET timezone and usually available evenings for calls or meetups._
|
||
|
