Alina

I'm 35 and recently relocated from inner Melbourne, where I've spent the past several years working in optical practice management and holistic health. Following the closure of the practice, I'm transitioning into independent and flexible work while exploring my next professional chapter.

I'm a creative, curious, nature-loving person with a slightly ridiculous sense of humour. I enjoy long walks, good coffee, interesting conversations, learning obscure things, and disappearing into creative projects. I'm equally happy having a philosophical conversation over dinner or enjoying a quiet evening to myself.

As a housemate, I'm clean, considerate, independent and respectful of shared spaces. I enjoy friendly company and the occasional shared meal, but really value privacy, peaceful surroundings and everyone having the freedom to live their own lives.

I come with a much-loved little dog called Indi, who's a big part of my life. We're hoping to find a welcoming, dog-friendly home surrounded by greenery, ideally within walking distance of village amenities and public transport, as I don't currently drive.

I'm particularly drawn to the Dandenong Ranges and would love to find a peaceful base from which to build my next chapter.
