Alex

Hi there, my name is Alex and I'm a PhD student at UNSW looking to rent a single room on a long term basis (hopefully at least 12 months).

I'm from the UK but have been living in Sydney for the last 8 months. I'm hoping to find a new place and people to get to know within the next 3 weeks as my current house's lease has just been ended early for major building renovations. It was pretty unexpected so I'm keen to find somewhere to move in at any time between now and the end of October.

A bit about me... Well I'm studying dingoes for my PhD, which has been really awesome so far. I'm trying to understand their social behaviour and develop some ways to manage conflict with people (so they can be conserved instead of shot!). So as you might expect, I'm a huge animal and nature lover. I've lived and worked in South Africa as a safari guide and Botswana as a large carnivore researcher, so if you also love wildlife and/or Africa we'll absolutely get along. Beyond that, I'm also into my music (I play acoustic guitar), photography, Formula 1, calisthenics workouts and don't mind the occasional video game.

To live with, I'm easy going, tidy, respectful and generally keep to myself but do enjoy getting to know new people and places. As I still feel fairly new in Oz, there's so much of Sydney and its surrounding natural extravaganzas to explore, and I'd be very keen to be with housemates who want to do the same thing.

If you want any more information about me, just shoot me a message!

Clean, tidy, respectful of personal space, keeps noise down, open for a friendly chat, keen to plan house activities like communal meals, BBQs, hikes or beach trips.

Plan to arrange and cook my own food, but happy to help prepare communal meals with other housemates.
