About the occupants
I work from home, so please factor this in before applying-👨🏻‍💼🏠

Hey potential housemates. I’m Curtis, I work in career & executive development and have broad interests including personal development, economics, philosophy and mindfulness.
I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, and don’t drink alcohol for this reason; but respect you for doing whatever is best for you. 😎

My housemate is overseas, and we’re wanting to sublease the spare room with a calm and organised person, for the next few weeks, given the housing shortage.

After some great experiences in the past, I’m on the lookout for an awesome housemate. So, if that’s you, reach out!

I’m sociable & friendly, but please be aware this definitely isn’t a party house; I keep a regular sleep pattern to help me perform at a high level, and am super considerate about noise. If this all sounds like something you want, it might be worth checking my place out! 🙂
Compatible people
⚠️ Contains dealbreakers 😅
For efficiency sake, I’m not going to pretend to be overly cool, here’s what I’d like in a housemate:
I’m looking for someone who can honestly describe themselves as highly conscientious (i.e., the personality trait) and has ‘normal’ sleeping hours somewhere between 10pm and 7am, because that’s when my home is kept especially quiet.
This set up has worked particularly well with tradies in the past). I used to work in construction so I’ll naturally understand these work hours and lifestyle.

If that’s you, say hi. 👋🏻

*No couples thanks*

Meals will be separate, but open to share the occasional feast and chat. If we vibe like, that I’m an omnivore.
Description of pets
Tutu is a whippet X Italian greyhound. He is very quiet and clean, but might say hi when you get home if you earn his affection.
