Benoit

I’m a 33-year-old full-time truck driver originally from Belgium, currently sponsored by my employer on a subclass 482 visa. My sponsorship is part of a three-year pathway towards Permanent Residency, as I’m planning to settle in Australia long-term.

I have stable, ongoing employment and typically work 60–65 hours a week, Monday to Friday, in the Canning Vale industrial area. My days start pretty early, as I’m usually up around 4:30 am and leave for work shortly afterwards. I’m mindful of others and always do my best to keep noise to a minimum in the mornings so I don’t disturb anyone’s sleep. I’m looking for a place within approximately 15–20 minutes’ drive of work.

With such early starts and long working days, having a quiet and peaceful home environment is particularly important to me, especially in the evenings, as I usually head to bed around 9 pm. I’m respectful, tidy and considerate of others, and I’m looking for a relaxed household where everyone respects each other’s space and routines.

Outside of work, I’ve recently started getting into motorcycling and enjoy going for rides on weekends when the weather is good. Other times, I’m a bit of a nerd and perfectly happy spending a weekend gaming or just chilling at home. I’m also always up for a drink and a good chat on the weekend!

I’m actually quite happy with my current living situation, and the only real reason I’m considering moving is to be closer to work. Because of that, I’m not in any rush to find a new place. I’d rather take my time and find the right home and housemates that genuinely suit my lifestyle than rush into something that isn’t quite the right fit.

Ultimately, I’m looking for a long-term place that I can genuinely call home, rather than just somewhere to stay temporarily
