Bio

Hi, I'm about to finish my PhD in Brisbane, QLD, and have just been offered a postdoctoral fellow position at RMIT. So, I'm looking for a new place to live! I am looking for something short term, maybe 3-4 months while I settle into Melbourne life. I enjoy cooking, reading, knitting, hiking and camping. I'm looking for a quiet place where I can decompress when I'm not at work. I'm happy to chat in the kitchen of an evening, but I really appreciate my own down-time and will likely keep to myself mostly. I have minimal furniture, just enough to fill my room. I'd prefer to move in with someone who already has a fridge/washing machine/etc. I value a clean apartment, not necessarily on a schedule, but I'd love a housemate who knows how to clean up after themselves (e.g. not leave dishes in the sink for days, wipes up spills promptly). I'd also prefer someone who doesn't have their partner over constantly. A few nights a week with notice is totally fine, especially if you also spend nights at theirs. My partner is based in Sydney and occasionally visits, but likely wouldn't be more than once or twice in the timeframe I'm looking to stay. As a bonus, I'll be away occasionally when I visit him. I'd prefer to live within half an hour from RMIT on public transport, so not really interested in suburbs I haven't listed. I'd be looking to move in sometime in the first week of October. If you are looking for a clean, easy-going, very quiet housemate, I'd love to hear from you!
