I'm moving to Canberra from Sydney to start a PhD at ANU. I study food, memory and identity in multiethnic communities. Don't worry... I won't be talking about my research all the time (unless you want me to)! I have other interests like obsessing over Bong Joon-ho films, collecting ceramics, procrastinating by watching Bon Appétit videos, drawing in my hobonichi, and doing miniature art in between naps. I also like to do outdoor activities like hiking and swimming in watering holes. In terms of personality, I am very easy going but like to be neat! Although introverted, I am very social in small groups. So sharing with someone similar would be nice! I can be shy at first but I'm a very good communicator. Ideally, I need to move to Canberra by the beginning of February, but I'm flexible for the right place. If you think we're a good fit, don't hesitate to message me!

We need to move asap. Ross works full time as a Tattoo Artist at Tattoo power north Lyneham and has for 8 years. I work at Central Canberra Dentists in the city.

I’m also coming to the end of and infection control course and will be studying throughout 2020. We have a good amount of savings and a pretty high budget. We are friendly and always up for some fun, a nice meal with housemates or a chill movie session. However we are also super respectful of people’s privacy and space. We like to keep to a routine of early ish mornings, yoga and making delicious breakfast before heading off to work. Our afternoons consist of preparing for the next day of work, winding down and doing a tidy. Ross does Jui Jitsu and I do Taekwondo 2/3 nights a week.

I'm 23 years old and have recently graduated from a bachelor of languages at ANU and about to start a bachelor of nursing at ACU. I have ambitions to become a midwife after that! I'm the classic "respectful and quiet but don't mind a shared cuppa" kinda housemate. Very tidy and love animals if they're on offer. I've lived in 3 different share houses in my time and learnt plenty from each! I enjoy a bit of gardening and have a pot garden I'd bring with me if possible. They're not indoor plants so I'm bucking the trend a bit there (but do have some indoor plants too). I play ultimate frisbee and go to the gym quite a bit (it's a nice gym though and I don't drink protein shakes). Frisbee takes me across the country (and sometimes the world!) so I'm away at least 1 weekend a month. I used to perform on stage in plays and comedy shows but have left my show shoes behind. Not a party gal but love a good dance! I'm looking for an easy house where there's a bit of tea, bit of orange juice, bit of optional socialising. Depending on what the go is, I've always enjoyed sharing dinners too.

I am a Canberra born and bred girl heading into first year politics at ANU in 2020. I have a casual waiting job in a restaurant in the city. I love travel, going to the gym and animals, so I will get on well with any animals in your house. I have one cat that I would love to bring with me when I move. I pull my weight with chores and bills and love a chat in the kitchen or a dinner get together. I also appreciate my alone time.

Hi! I'm looking for short term accommodation from around 25 March to 20 April 2020. My partner and I are moving out of Canberra in February but I'm a wedding photographer so I have to come back to town for a string of bookings in March and April. I'm friendly and outgoing, pull my weight in communal cleaning and enjoy a good chat in the kitchen. I'll be spending the month working weddings, so I'll be out most weekends and editing during the week. I do most of the editing at home but I'm always popping in and out - to the gym, little mid-week photography jobs, visit friends etc. I'm hoping to get a short-term rental in an established home or sublet from someone who is leaving town for the month. If you have anything for between 2-4 weeks in the dates I've specified above, I'd love to hear from you!

Hi ! My name is Ruby. I work 7 days a week (double shifts) as a waitress in the city. I’m looking to rent a one bedroom apartment/house/studio/granny flat close to the City or Gunghalin area. I’m hoping to move in by the end of January/beginning of February. A little bit about myself: I’m a organised person. When I’m not working I usually spend my time in the kitchen baking or cleaning the house. I’m not the social type, i’m very shy and tend to keep to myself. Thank you

Hi my name's Ethan, I'm moving down from Brisbane to start a graduate position in the APS. I'm in my mid-20s and just finished a Master's of Environmental Management. I’m pretty relaxed guy and happy to hang and chat on the couch but still get the need for space. I'm not a huge partier but still social, more of pub than club person. I spend my time messing around with my cameras and occasionally taking photos as well as doing some outdoorsy stuff (looking forward to trying some fishing and hiking around Canberra). I’m very respectful and understanding of the need to keep a clean house and I enjoy fixing stuff and just generally being a bit handy. Ideally the room would have good light, that's maybe one of the only things that matters a bit. I have all my own furniture for my room but I won't be able to contribute much in terms of the house's furniture (other than a coffee machine), but I'd be open to maybe pitching in to buy stuff if needed. I would love to live with someone I get along with so if I sound like someone that might fit in a spot that you have let me know!

Hey there! I'm a 23 year old guy moving to Canberra from Hobart to study masters in international relations. I studied Economics and Philosophy as my undergraduate, and have lived in Norway, Germany, and Melbourne. I'm a very laid back person (in a good way), and I love hanging out with friends and meeting new people. I have many interests, such as learning languages (German and Russian), traveling, reading, sport (gym and table tennis mainly, but I enjoy all sports and have played many others), bushwalking, and skiing. I love trying new things and going on adventures. I'm looking for somewhere to stay for the two years of my masters. Ideally I'm looking not just for house mates who are tidy, respectful, and hard workers (with study or work), but also that we have a lot of fun together in our free time and hopefully we can become good friends!
