Hayden

I'm Hayden (or Hayds), a 32 year old originally from Wellington, New Zealand.
I came over recently to visit friends who just moved here, fell in love with Melbourne instantly and decided to stay. Currently looking for the right place to call home.

Working fully remote as a self-employed systems architect and software engineer, plus co-founder of a couple of small startups with my Aussie business partner. Usually quite focused on work at co-working spaces or on my laptop at home, but equally love a good chat or hang over coffee/tea/drink. I enjoy cooking for housemates and friends now and again (both vegan and non-vegan friendly).

Bit of a philosophical and open-minded one, so enjoy talking about almost anything, but equally chill and respectful of social boundaries. I love thrifting some cool clothes, gym/exercising, trying new food and drink spots, going to gigs, traveling and snowboarding (though I'm gonna have to find another sport here).

Very intentional about keeping shared spaces calm and organised. A word I love is Hygge, which in Danish means creating a comfortable, cozy and content vibe in a space. I’m queer-friendly. Respectful of boundaries and shared spaces. Healthy communicator too, especially when it’s needed.

Somewhat going with the flow in terms of length of stay - likely 3+ months minimum though and looking for somewhere available ASAP. If I find a place with the right vibe I'm open to settling in for longer. Currently staying with friends in South Yarra while I find the right place. Happy to provide character or previous housemate references and proof of income etc.
