About the occupants
Hi there - I'm Amanda, almost 33, and moved back to Brisbane earlier this year after living in Sydney for 11 years. I work and study from home. Most days/nights are pretty low key - I spend time with Busta (see below pet description), cooking dinner, and trying to maintain some level of exercise - netball, pilates, boxercise. I am working on re-building my social life since moving interstate and look forward to the day I finally do a pottery class. I enjoy food. A lot. I also enjoy beer, live music, comedy gigs, travelling, sunsets (not joking!), binging on excellent TV, and hiking. I also enjoy catching up with friends and family, which often involves me being away for weekends but I do sometimes have friends or family stay in the spare room. I am prone to swearing and have a dry sense of humour, but I am a genuine and down to earth person.
Compatible people
I'm looking for a friendly, respectful/considerate and reliable/trustworthy housemate. Someone who cleans up after themselves to a reasonable extent (I understand that by Thursday everyone is tired!). I would probably prefer a professional who is working full time but this is not an absolute must. The house is a peaceful place (i.e. not a party house). I usually cook my own food but am also down with catching up occasionally over a shared dinner or drink. I think it's great to have a friendship but also value respecting each other's space and quiet time. Preference is for a non-smoker. Family and friends welcome visitors.
Description of pets
Busta is an almost 13 year old Golden Retriever who is a lovely, friendly old boy. These days he spends most of his time sleeping but he also enjoys eating, receiving pats, and having his daily walk. Busta sleeps inside but loves lying in the sun and chewing on a bone too. Busta very rarely barks and enjoys the company of humans; he really makes the house feel like a home.
