Hey, I’m Richard. I’m originally from Sydney but have spent the last 15 years living and working overseas, and I’ve recently moved back because, after travelling a fair bit of the world, I still reckon Sydney is pretty hard to beat.
I’ve had a fairly varied background — I used to run an adventure travel company, have opened climbing gyms, and spent a number of years working internationally for a children’s charity. I’m now working full-time in energy efficiency sales, mainly office-based during the week, and I’m looking to properly settle back into Sydney and find a place that feels like home.
Outside of work I’m very active and social. I’m into climbing, canyoning, beach volleyball, the beach, music, cooking and pretty much any excuse to get out on an adventure. I’m equally happy having a relaxed night at home, sharing a meal, having a few drinks or just hanging out.
I’ve got a small circle of good friends here already, but after being away for so long I’m also keen to build more of a community around me as I settle back into Sydney.
House-wise, I’m clean, considerate and independent, but I’d definitely prefer somewhere with a friendly and social atmosphere rather than everyone disappearing into their rooms. I love cooking and I’m always happy to share meals or cook together from time to time.
Basically looking for good people, a relaxed home and somewhere I can properly settle into Sydney life again. Happy to come by, meet everyone and see if it feels like a good fit. Also open to a buddy up to rent out our own place
