Alani

Hello! I'm a 42 year old woman originally from Berkeley, Calfornia. I've been in Melbourne for 13 years, and finally can call myself a citizen! Earlier this year I separated from my former partner of 10 years, and looking for a place to ground, land and reorient after some travels. I've run my own online coaching business for 13 years, have worked as an Ops Manager and Head of Systems, and everything in between. Currently doing some part-time work as I recalibrate and reset.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:

A home, a beautiful space with lots of light, a place to have friends over for cuppa and the occasional dinner party. Comfortable, welcoming, supportive, open and kind. I'm not a big party person (don't smoke, rarely drink), but love a good boogey in the kitchen or chat about all things life on the couch. I'm clean, responsible, mature, great communicator and respectful. I make any house I live in a home, and like living with others who approach it that way too.

Looking to live with 1-2 mature, respectful and caring people, ideally 35+ yo or mature 30+ yo. I work from home sometimes doing coaching calls online, but will be out often as well. RE pets, I'm a yes to cats, and certain dogs (would need to meet to see if we gel, have some dog trauma).

WHO AM I:

I love all things plants (gardening, houseplants, nature adventures), eating and cooking healthy food (I am a meat eater, that needs to be okay to cook in the house), reading, socializing with friends, music, dance, uninhibited self expression, personal development and spiritual exploration, enjoying life's small beauties, self-inquiry, laughter and creativity, and realness. I have two step-kids (19 and 23 yo), and love spending time with them. I'm very comfortable in who I am, love getting to know others, and co-creating a space that feels wonderful for all inhabitants. I'm bisexual, sex- and body- positive, and looking for others who are a yes to that.

I also have a portable indoor infrared sauna (3 person) that I'm happy to bring if there is space for it, for all to enjoy!

HOUSE DESIRES:

- 6 month rental, possibly longer
- Good kitchen and sizable fridge (I cook a lot)
- Bathtub is a big bonus!
- Ideally close to public transport, also have a car
- Independent yet warm and friendly

ROOM DESIRES:
- Decent sized room (queen bed) with room for a small desk and wardrobe (or BIR), room ideally larger than 3x3m
- Good natural light/windows (north facing is a bonus!)
- Hardwood floors are a bonus

NOTE: Due to my mould sensitivities, needing to find a place that has NOT had water damage in the home, leaks or ongoing mould/dampness issues. Spent 2.5 years seriously ill due to mould illness, so have to be careful! If you're not sure, and we're both keen to explore the flatmate fit, I'm super happy to come check the place out (I know what to look for these days). :)

If you're curious to have a chat to see if it might be a mutual fit, please reach out and let's make a time to chat/meet up. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
