Mari and Shogo

Hi there! I’m Mari, Italian girl who has spent more than 10 years living around the world and currently living in Japan. I’m moving to the Gold Coast at the end of November with my Japanese husband, Shogo, and we’re looking for a furnished double room for around 3-4 months. ( with possible extension)

Areas: South Port, Bundall only. Bed bigger than semi double, rent per week max 450 $ tot. We love Pets! Available for tours from November 18th.

I’m a very active person and I love sports, especially kickboxing and martial arts, but I also enjoy slower things like cooking, spending time at the beach and exploring new places. I work in the health and wellbeing field, with particular attention to nutrition and mindfulness.

Personality-wise, I’m friendly, curious and quite independent. I enjoy meeting people and having a chat or sharing dinner occasionally, but I also really value personal space and a calm home environment. I’ve lived abroad for a long time, so I’m very used to different cultures and ways of living.

At home I’m clean, organised and respectful of shared spaces. I cook quite often, but I’m not the type to take over the kitchen for hours 😅 We’re non-smokers, not big party people, and we both love animals. ( I would be very happy to have one around)

We’re hoping to find a place that feels relaxed and welcoming rather than just somewhere to sleep, ideally with people who are friendly but also respectful of each other’s space.

We’ll arrive on the Gold Coast on **26 November**, and we’re looking forward to making it our home for this new adventure😊
