Matthew OLeary
$500/week•50 year old man
Hi there, Hope you're well :) I have recently relocated back to Melbourne from Lennox Head, near Byron Bay. My professional background is executive HR/People & Culture in the technology industry; however, I am currently working on a music psychology and acoustic science research project with RMIT and the University of Melbourne. I previously worked at Spotify. I am well-travelled, having lived in New York, LA, Paris, London, and Dublin collectively for about 15 years over the last 20 years. I am interested in music, art, science, and philosophy. I like the occasional glass of wine, but I'm not a big drinker. I eat well, exercise when I can, enjoy a chat, and don't smoke. I have some close friends in the neighbourhood, so I am often out and about. As a flatmate, very comfortable being as engaging and social as you like - I'm pretty self-sufficient but always up for a chat. More than happy to answer any other questions. Warmly, Matt

Osama
$250/week•27 year old man
My name is Osama. I’ve been living in Australia for over six years. I run my own businesses here and overseas, which gives me a stable income, and I sometimes take on side projects or gigs just for fun and variety. I also continue my psychology studies at Swinburne University from time to time — it’s an ongoing interest that I dip in and out of, though not my main focus. I live simply and travel light. For me, a home is more about the people in it than the things inside it. I don’t have a fixed location in mind as long as it’s within Melbourne and feels open, welcoming, and not like a cage. I really love animals — I enjoy seeing them in the wild or in big open spaces with other pets. That said, I prefer not to live with indoor pets, so I’ll admire them from a respectful distance and call myself the “weird guy” who loves animals best when they’re free. What I value most in a home is a calm and respectful atmosphere. I like living with people who are kind, mindful, and open to communication. I’m easygoing and considerate, clean in shared spaces, and a non-smoker. Socially, I enjoy balance — sometimes sharing a tea, meal, or movie, and other times enjoying quiet independence. Either way, I respect the rhythm of those I live with. I’m drawn to households that lean toward intentional or mindful living: open communication, simple routines, and the sense that home is a place of belonging, not just a roof. I’m not interested in dealing with agents, because I don’t see living as a business transaction. I’d rather share a space with people who value community and comfort over profit. NOTE: The first 3 months are just to make sure everyone’s happy — after that, my plan is to stay for years. My budget is flexible with bills, and I’m happy to add up to $50+ if there’s a good reason. I can also be flexible with the moving date if needed — anywhere between November and December works for me if that helps. That was me in a nutshell — if you think I’d be a good fit, please reach out. And if any questions come your way, ask away, I don’t bite :) Thank you.
