Living Style & Housemate Expectations
* Clean & Organized: I’m super tidy and happy to keep shared spaces neat. I prefer to assign chores via quick messages or even a chore chart.
* Cooking: I haven’t cooked in a long time, so I’ll mostly keep to simple meals. I always wash my own dishes but won’t do others’.
* Quiet & Respectful: I’m generally quiet at home and enjoy my own space, though I’m very social when people reach out. I may have the occasional late-night video call with family overseas or talk through ideas while scripting a YouTube video.
Communication & Culture(USA, AUS, etc.) Keep in mind that I am an American that brings a completely different cultural perspective. That being said, I am open-minded and respectful towards all differences. If anything I do ever seems off, please let me know—I value direct honesty and friendly communication.
Looking forward to meeting you and finding a place to stay.
