Erin

Hey! I'm Erin.

👋 I'm an American, in my 30s, and I have recently moved to Sydney after 11+ years in San Francisco (SF). I am taking the next couple of months to meet people, network, and job search, so I can be here longer term.

Read on for plenty of details about me — I prefer to be as up front as possible as finding good matches is important all around!

👀 What I'm looking for...

I'm open to living on my own or living with housemates. I have done both and am happy either way! I'm easy going, responsible, and low-maintenance. Over my years in SF I've lived both with roommates and on my own, managed subtenants and roommate contracts, and held my own lease as an individual renter for 5+ years. I have furnished all of my previous homes myself (I love interior design) so I understand the investment people make in their spaces. I know how to be a considerate renter and take care of people's homes.

🏄🏻‍♀️ A bit about me...

I'm active (yoga, pilates, currently learning to surf), love finding hidden music venues, enjoy a good morning walk with a coffee, and I love to knit (yes, like a little old granny). I have an arts background, so I love meeting people who have creative outlets they are passionate about.

✨ Home life...

I enjoy shared home environments with friendly flatmates that are open to chatting and sharing common spaces. I am not a 'bedroom dweller' and enjoy getting to know the people I am living with — that said, I also need my own space to recharge, so I know when to take time for myself and do the same for others. 🐾 I also love dogs! I have done dog care in SF for a few years now and am happy to be in a home with furry friends.

🙌 Living together...

I am happy to contribute to household chores and cleaning. I am also happy to share expenses for household goods and groceries/commonly used pantry items. I come from a big family and find sharing to be second nature and am happy to chat about what your preferences are and what works.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Lifestyle...

I am pretty healthy and enjoy cooking vegetarian at home. I am also sober — no drinking/smoking/drugs. That said, I don't mind sharing a home with people who eat meat and when it comes to drinking/smoking, I am happy to live with flatmates who enjoy a drink with dinner/friends. If you are a smoker/vape (cigarettes, 420), please let me know so we can see if we are a match. Please be transparent about these preferences up front, it'll help us all out!

🤪 My quirks...

Living with people can be really great when things align. We all have our funny quirks when it comes to our home lives — here are mine: I really like composting, if there are options to, I'm all about it. I am sensitive to fragrance/very strong perfume candles/incense. I love them, but find if it's too strong, it's overwhelming. If we work towards when/where/how often to burn them, that'd be amazing. The heater. I know, 'winter is coming,' but coming from northern CA, I am almost never going to need the heat on and will be sleeping with the window open year round.

🎨 Work life...

I work in tech/IT (10+ years) with a focus in brand and creative — recently finished a brand project with Salesforce for their global rebrand. 🖥️ I do need to be able to do some computer time from home, but am also out and about quite often. Let's be sure to chat about what does/doesn't work for you.

💸 References...

I'm financially responsible and am happy to provide references here in Sydney from people I have rented from.

Look forward to connecting!
