About this person
Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm a quiet but friendly 37 year old who mostly keeps to herself, although I do like socialising too. I’m a former horticulturist who would love a garden to potter around in. I really enjoy birdwatching, nature photography, and contributing to iNaturalist. I’m passionate about science, learning languages, and keeping my mind active. Music has always been a big part of my life, and I love going to gigs. While I mainly listen to punk, metal, and 90s alt pop and rock, I’ll happily listen to almost anything. I’m also really into sci-fi and anime.

I have a queen-sized bed, so I'm looking for an unfurnished room. I also have a large desk, which, depending on the size of the room you have on offer, might not fit, so I would need to find an alternative location in the house for it. My two beside tables are 485mm L by 440mm W by 690mm H each, my headboard is 1600mm L by 220mm W by 690mm H, my queen-sized mattress is 2030mm L by 1530mm W, and my desk is approximately 1250mm L by 700mm W by 720mm H.

Important personal qualities
I’d like a flatmate who values respect, privacy, and open communication, while also being easygoing and comfortable doing their own thing. As an autistic introvert with ADHD, I need a calm, low-pressure home where I can decompress without too much noise, unexpected visitors, or constant socialising. I do my best to stay organised, with some support from the NDIS, but really just want a peaceful, low-drama environment with someone considerate and understanding.
Food sharing and furniture
I’m open to sharing food if we’re also sharing the cost (unlike the last place I lived). I don’t really have any major dietary restrictions, but I’m severely allergic to lavender, oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme (kind of like how some people are with peanuts) so I can’t be around them at all, even in the air. I’m also mildly allergic to kiwi and mango, but they’re only an issue if I eat them.

As for furniture, I mostly just have a gorgeous MCM Burgess headboard with attached bedside tables, a queen-sized mattress, and a large office desk. There are a few other bits and pieces, but those are the main ones. I’ve also got two aquaria, an Aqua One AquaStart 500 that sits on my desk, and an Aqua One Horizon 130 that has its own stand.

I’m great at finding bargains and love interior design, so I’m sure we can figure something out if you don’t have much furniture either.
Description of pets
I currently have a small tank with some tubifex worms and a bunch of snails in it. I used to have fish in it, but sadly lost them to myco a while ago. I’d really love to replace them, add some shrimp, and get some live food cultures going, but I’ll have to wait until the weather’s warmer. I’m also toying with the idea of getting a dog or cat once I’m more settled, as I miss their companionship.
