I'm Catarina a 32yo girl from Portugal, currently residing in the Netherlands, and moving to Brisbane at the end of November 2025 to start a new position as a postdoctoral researcher at QUT. I'm into all things outdoors, especially if they're ocean related (did a stint back in 2017 working at the GBR as a marine bio/reef guide), but also very happy to go out for hikes/climbs. My work is at the intersection of marine biology and computer science, so I also am a bit of a nerd. I like going bouldering and to the gym once or twice a week, hope to be able to cycle around mostly everywhere, and hope to get out surfing somewhat regularly. I also absolutely love keeping and propagating houseplants, as well as gardening! I'm not super into elaborate cooking at this moment in my life, but I am big on mealprep. This means I usually spend one or two evenings in the week cooking, and mostly stay out of the kitchen for the rest of the time. If there is a blender and a good rice cooker already in the house, or you're ok with me getting these, i'll be very happy. I'm not a party person, don't go out regularly and don't drink or smoke. I can, however, say yes a quality rave once or twice a year, and I do enjoy chill live music and just hangouts on a porch or garden. My social battery isnt huge, so I definitely have an introverted side, but can also be a chatty cathy when my energy levels are high. I see home mostly as a private space, and prefer to share a place with people who feel the same way. Having partners over and occasionally hosting isn't a problem though. A clean and calm environment is important to me. I prefer a housing situation with regular cleaning habits, when the kitchen is left clean once the cooking and eating is done, and to walk around barefoot in a clean floor. I also clean as a stress-coping and procrastinating mechanism, which my housemates usually appreciate ;p. I also prefer when playing loud music for or loud TV for hours and hours is a not-too-common occurrence. Although exception here if you play an instrument well :D. I generally appreciate and abide by a 10pm silent time, as I value my sleep quality dearly. I like to think of myself as a chill, kind, respectful person and a good communicator. I ask questions and don't make assumptions and appreciate the same courtesy. I also prefer to share a house with people who approach house sharing from a 'this is our home to care for' attitude and not 'i have my room and there's a common kitchen' attitude. I've been house sharing basically all my life, and hope to keep doing so! I don't have any pets but will be very happy to share the house with them, so long as boundaries and responsibilities are agreed upon.

Here’s an updated bio incorporating your preferences: Hi, I’m Nayanika! I’m an international student at UQ doing my Master’s in Social Work, currently in my second semester. I’ve previously lived with flatmates in Melbourne and the USA, so I’m experienced in shared living and know the importance of being respectful, tidy, clean and considerate and so would expect the same from my flatmates. I value privacy and respect for space. I'm friendly and don't mind an occasional chat. I am currently doing a placement at Virginia. I’m looking for a place with a private bathroom/ensuite either close to UQ or near a bus/train stop connecting to UQ. My partner will be joining me in a few months and we will be sharing the room. If you have any such listing please DM me. We would also want easy access to public transport as none of us have cars at the moment. Thank you! Nayanika
