Janette Lappalainen

I’m a 22-year-old business student from Finland, here in 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, earned a silver medal in the world championships and wish to try the cheer gyms in australia as well! 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!

I’m looking for a place to stay from February to June 2026, preferably in/close to the CBD/St Lucia or with good public transport connections. My budget is flexible between 250 and 300 AUD per week.

I want to explore Australia and the nature here during my exchange, so not a party person. I’m tidy, organised, and respectful of shared spaces. 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!💌
