Janette Lappalainen

I’m a 22-year-old business student from Finland, coming to Brisbane for an exchange semester at the University of Queensland from February to June 2026.

I’m very active and love running, trying out new sports, and being generally on the move. I’ve done competitive cheerleading for 10 years and plan to visit a cheer gym in Queensland to keep up my skills and see how it’s done Down Under! I also enjoy painting and have a small hobby of hand-painting birthday cards for my loved ones. I’ve loved parrots since I was little, so birdwatching in Australia would be a dream come true for this Nordic girl!

I’m looking for a place to stay from mid-February to late June 2026, preferably in/close to the CBD or with good public transport connections. My budget is around 250 AUD per week.

I want to explore Australia and experience as much as possible during my exchange, so I’m quite flexible when it comes to the room; clean, with a comfy bed and air conditioning for a good night’s sleep are really all I need.

As a roommate, I’m tidy, organised, and respectful of others’ personal space. Having friendly, like-minded roommates would be a big plus, especially people I could travel, exercise, or get coffee with, but I also value everyone having their own space and routines.

If you think I could be a good fit for your place, feel free to message me!💌
