David


Hi, I’m David—an easygoing, community-minded 65-year-old with a passion for creativity, culture, and connection. Ive been living in Sydney and also living across Europe and sharing homes through platforms like Couchsurfing and Warm Showers, I’ve returned to Greater Sydney with a deep appreciation for collaborative, respectful living.

I work from home and value a peaceful, non-smoking environment with open communication and shared responsibility. I’m a nurse consultant and midwife, known for my empathy, reliability, and calm presence. I hold current Working With Children and Police Check certificates, and I’m happy to provide references from both Sydney and Europe.

I prefer getting out, exploring my local area, meeting people, and staying active. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems, joining community events, or capturing moments through photography, I love engaging with the world around me.
I’m tidy, adaptable, and conscientious, with experience as a landlord, tenant, and homeowner. I understand what makes a household run smoothly and thrive on creating a space that feels like home.

Ideally, I’d love to share with one other person in a long-term rental. I’m open to studios, granny flats, or shared houses in the Penrith and Blue Mountains area.

Let’s build a harmonious, friendly living space together!

Respectful of Space and Privacy Knows when to chat and when to give you breathing room.

Willing to have formal house meeting once each week - two weeks: talk about positives/room for improvement in house living and behaviours. A friendly collaborative planned chat.

Clean and Tidy Keeps shared spaces pleasant without being obsessive.

Good Communicator Open about plans, issues, and expectations—no passive-aggressive notes on the fridge.

Reliable and Responsible Pays bills on time, locks the door, and doesn’t “forget” their chores.

Considerate of Noise Doesn’t blast music at midnight or vacuum during your Zoom call.

Friendly and Approachable Makes the home feel warm and welcoming, not like a silent monastery.

Emotionally Mature Handles disagreements calmly and doesn’t stir up drama.

Shares Fairly Whether it’s toilet paper or Netflix, they contribute their fair share.

Flexible and Adaptable Can roll with changes in schedules or house dynamics.

Respects Boundaries Doesn’t borrow your stuff or invite guests without checking first.

Sense of Humor Can laugh off small annoyances and bring lightness to the home.

Culturally Sensitive Appreciates diversity and avoids assumptions or stereotypes.

Supportive and Kind Offers a listening ear or a cup of tea when you’ve had a rough day.

Good Conflict Resolution Skills Doesn’t let tension fester—talks it out constructively.

Shares Interests or Values Whether it’s cooking, travel, or photography, shared passions can deepen the bond.

I'm open to sharing meals and food, as long as there's mutual respect—both ways. I think it can be a lovely way to connect, but I'm also mindful of personal preferences and boundaries. As for furniture, I have some limited pieces, but I'm definitely open to negotiation depending on what’s needed and what works best for the space.
