Some things I love: animals (especially natives), mountain runs and walks every day when I can, and meditation. I help look after the bush in practical ways.
I have fairly mainstream Australian attitudes. I see the funny side of life. I don’t smoke, vape or use recreational drugs.
I’m mostly introverted so I mostly stick to myself but I also chat a bit and might eat communally once a week or whatever.
I’m single with no pets or kids. I don’t have frequent visitors, and when I do it’s one or two people who are very considerate and well behaved. You can let me know what are good times/days for me to have visitors.
I’m detail-oriented so I’m comfy with detailed house rules and if I have an annoying habit, just let me know and I can probably change it. I want you to feel very relaxed having me stay.
I work quietly from home on my computer in my own hours. No prob’s paying for extra power consumption. I probably won’t use heating during the day anyway – I can wear lots of clothes in cold weather, don’t use aircon, and might watch TV once a week at most.
I don’t have a specific rental duration in mind. I’m also lucky to have backup accommodation.
The usual 3 months minimum is fine.
Here are some accurate reviews of me as a house guest:
“Joanna is a kind person who knows what she requires for her stay to suit and is able to communicate it well. She considerately understands and appreciates the hosts perspective and takes nothing for granted.”
“In her short stay Joanna was a considerate guest. She communicated well at all stages and left the room clean and tidy.”
“Joanna stayed for 15 days in the end! My longest term guest yet! She paid promptly each time we extended her stay, was considerate of my privacy and that of other guests and was low maintenance. Joanna is a little "Kramer"* like in a good way, different yes, but in a world of "beige" people I found her interesting, kind and unerringly upbeat and optimistic. I allowed her use of my kitchen for the duration, which I never do and she always left it spotless.
I can absolutely recommend her as a person of extremely high principles and character. If you enjoy people who arent "cookie cutter" bland, positive in outlook, super intelligent*, passionate about nutrition and animals and that you can be direct with, Joanna is a great guest (almost house mate after 15 days!!!)
“Joanna was delightful, and very much an animal lover, and we would welcome Joanna back at any time.”
* I’ve got a somewhat quirky manner as did the sitcom character “Kramer”. Like everyone else I’m smart in some ways, and less smart in others.
