Erika and Ryan

Hi everyone!

My name is Erika, and my partner and I are looking for a room together in Wollongong.

What we are looking for
We're social people and are specifically looking for a shared house rather than a studio or living on our own. We've both always enjoyed the community aspect of shared housing and love having people around for a chat, a shared meal, a board game night, or the occasional adventure. We definitely value our own space too, but we're hoping to find a home that feels friendly and connected rather than just a place to sleep. Ideally, we're looking for a space that includes either a study or a spare room that I can use as a home office. I'd love to keep my workspace separate from the bedroom rather than filling the room with a desk and office setup. I've always had really strong relationships with my housemates and we're friendly, respectful, tidy, and easy to live with.

Work
We are both full-time professionals. I work for a climate-focused non-profit, primarily from home, with one day a week in the office. My partner works in industrial real estate in Sydney and is usually home from Friday through Tuesday before travelling for work from Wednesday to Friday.

Hobbies
We’re both very outdoors-oriented and spend our free time climbing, surfing, hiking, slacklining, and generally making the most of nature. But we also enjoy quieter nights in—whether that’s hosting a board game night, cooking a nice dinner, or just sharing a meal and a chat with our housemates.
And even if you’re not outdoorsy, don’t worry! We’re not the annoying kind who only talk about our hobbies. We have friends from all walks of life and all different interests.

Pets/Smoking
We're also very pet-friendly! Since we're often away on weekends during summer, having our own pet isn't practical right now, but we'd absolutely love living with a furry friend and would be more than happy to help with walks, pats, and company. We are also okay if there are smokers in the house - Ryan doesn't smoke weed, but I do (not a bong lord, just a cheeky joint with a friend on a Friday arvo vibe)

If it sounds like we might be a good fit, we'd love to hear from you!
