About the flatmates

About us:
Spencer (he/him): currently working on climate models at ANU. Outside of work he’s a big fan of going out for a run or bike ride, reading, gardening, wandering around aimlessly when the weather’s nice, or attempting new recipes and is always down for a shared dinner 🍲.

Ben (he/him): mid thirties, currently works in broadcasting at Parliament House. Travels a lot both for work and enjoyment, keen hiker/climber/kayaker and into anything outdoorsy. Fairly quiet, tidy and self sufficient person, but always happy to have a bit of a chat with like-minded people 🙂

We’re easygoing, up for a chat, and value clear communication, a reasonably clean home, and respect for downtime.

About you:
Ideally, you're in a similar life stage, friendly, communicative, reasonably clean, and happy to join for the occasional drink or dinner.
