Hey! I'm Beth, 22, have been living independently for 6 years, and have lived in Adelaide, Agnes Water, Bundaberg, St Andrews Beach, Dromana, Dandenong, and now, temporarily in Glen Waverly. Originally grew up on the Mornington Peninsula. After emancipation, I was out of home for 5 years before and throughout COVID. I was supported on Centrelink's Youth Allowance at the highest possible rate as I was out of state and did not have familiar contact. I lived in multiple share situations with housemates from all walks of life. I was the head tenant at a Youth Sharehouse in Bundaberg in 2019 paying $175pw for 7 months before relocating back to Melbourne (just in time for COVID) Luckily I landed a hospitality internship through my job pathway provider just before the lockdowns in 2020 & I worked in food service as an essential worker through to 2021. I was basically boarding/couch surfing with my distant relatives I had on the peninsula before finding other share situations to live comfortably in. I returned home in 2022 after finding the housing situation difficult and having no concrete rental history with a real estate. I took some of my savings from COVID aside and purchased myself a small caravan that had one previous owner before being restored for The Block show a few years back. I had been living out the back of my mothers housing property in for the past two years before my handyman skills were out of range for the work that needed to be done on the domicile. Not to get entirely personal but due to domestic violence reasons between my younger brother with mental health issues and myself, I chose to pack my things and leave the situation immediately. Luckily, my friend is currently interstate and needs a dog/housesitter so that's where I am. I have a casual position at a restaurant in Rowville, yet as it is just casual it is not enough to currently live on, so I am actively looking for more work. I am unlicensed, simply for the fact I didn't exactly have to opportunity to have regular lessons, Although I do hold a learner's permit, and am very keen to drive with someone willing to teach! At the moment, I am in survival mode, so hobbies are at an all-time low, but when stability and comfort are up I enjoy gaming, music, film, and just chatting shit over a smoke n beer, I am a little apprehensive to nicotine as of recent simply because it is dangerously unaffordable, although, throughout my life and travels I have grown quite 420 friendly and have been consuming it medicinally rather than recreationally for around 3 years now. I am extremely lightweight, so you never need to worry about the grog with me, summertime I enjoy a good beer or two and in Winter I love whipping out dark liquors to warm me up or even a nice hot toddy. That said my tastes are more attuned to culinary delights and sweet beverages, you'll always find me sipping on something overly sweet or caffeinated, anything I can whip up with any type of milk, instant coffee, and sweetener is my go-to! Hospitality is a hell of a business and I won't say I love working in service, but the food is something I like to stay close to! So if I'm ever off to work and you're craving pizza, pasta, steak, parma, or ribs, I got you!
