Sophia Barnes

Ideal move in date 25th May.

I am a creative freelancer and musician looking for a houseshare between West End, Highgate Hill and Woolloongaba (currently living in Woolloongaba). Looking for a double room with access to an outdoor space or near to a public green space. Looking to share in an all female, LGBTQ+ or mixed house. I just turned 30 and am looking to live with people around 25-35, clean, tidy, considerate, creative, politically left. I am sober but love to socialise, talk about philosophy, creativity, alchemy, music, go to gigs, art shows, social activism groups or events.

I work in music marketing, am a musician starting up a new band. I am originally from Bristol England where I also worked in the arts, and I've been in Brisbane for just over a year and loving it! I am looking to settle here for a few years while saving up to buy communal land in the Sunshine Coast.

In the week you'll find me working from home, working from the libraries and cafes, going to yoga, rehearsing DJing and Band stuff (out of the house), reading, writing and listening to music. I go to bed early and keep pretty quiet. I fill my time with nature walks, forests, camping, travelling, going to festivals, learning new things, alchemy, self sufficiency and self development.

My ideal houseshare - it's pretty important to me to live with mature people who can communicate any issues, do their chores and keep the house clean and tidy. I would like to make a nice home together, create safe spaces, share ideas and creative projects, occasionally cook together, grow food in a garden if possible!

As I move into my next place, the above is a non-negotiable for me. I’m not just looking for a place to live, I want to enjoy spending time with the people I’m living with. It’s important to me that we get along and have a good vibe together.
