Hi, I'm Simone, 29-years old and I recently arrived in Melbourne from Germany. I am a cognitive science researcher and I am starting my PhD in philosophy at Monash university.
In my free time, I enjoy things like knitting, crochet, and pretty much all other types of crafting. On the more active side, I am really into hiking and doing nature trips and I am excited about trying bouldering and getting back into swimming(and other water-based sports). Additionally, I love sharing quality time with close people, reading, and listening to dream stories of everyone who feels comfortable sharing them (with dreaming being my research topic). I really enjoy cooking and would be down to share the occasional meal.
I’ve so far had great experiences living in shared houses; I appreciate a friendly house atmosphere, but of course also having a degree of independence that comes with leading full adult lives. I'll be spending 3-4 days per week working from Monash’s Clayton campus; the rest from home or from a coffee shop / library.
