Sophia

My name is Sophia, I’m 26 (turning 27 in June), and I’m a law graduate from Hamburg, Germany. From August, I’ll be starting my Master of Law at the University of Sydney. I’m excited about this chapter in my life and eager to make the most of my time in Sydney.

Currently, I work as a Law Clerk at a large law firm, and I hope to continue with them in Sydney. If that doesn’t work out, I’m open to finding another student job alongside my studies. My course schedule will mostly be intensive blocks with occasional daytime classes, so my weekly routine may vary, but I plan to spend most of my days exploring the city and enjoying what Sydney has to offer.

I’d rate myself around a 7–8 for tidiness. I don’t need everything to be spotless, but I appreciate shared spaces being left in a way everyone can enjoy. I think simple schedules help keep things comfortable for all roommates.

I don’t smoke and would prefer a smoke-free household.

I don’t have pets at the moment, but I’m a huge animal lover—so a puppy would definitely win me over!

I’m a total foodie and love cooking. I have no dietary restrictions, though I usually cook vegetarian meals at home. I enjoy eating out and trying all kinds of cuisines. My comfort foods are pasta in any shape, lasagna, and Greek salad, and I’m currently obsessed with mochi ice cream.

I’m very active and enjoy classes like Barre, Pilates, cycling, and HIIT. I also love spending time with friends, going on coffee walks, doing creative projects (scrapbooking, painting, vision boards), and enjoying dinner dates. I’m hoping to get back into surfing while in Sydney, a hobby I loved during my time in Lisbon.

I’m open and honest in communication but usually wait until it’s necessary to raise issues. I can easily distinguish between minor and major concerns and am happy to communicate via text or face-to-face when needed. I’ve shared flats throughout my twenties and have always had positive experiences; I value clear communication and respecting personal space.

I enjoy pop music from the 2000s–2010s (think Nelly Furtado, Kelly Clarkson—songs you can sing along to in the car!). I like to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle while also enjoying the occasional indulgence.

I would love the opportunity to talk and see if I’d be a good fit for your flat. 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best,
Sophia
