Aus/American moving to Bristol

Hello!

I was raised in the States but have spent the last decade in Aus. I'm recently come over to the UK with a 2 year work visa and after housesitting around the country for a while, I'm looking to settle in with a rental and find some work. I don't have a job yet but I can float myself for a few months until I find something.

I used to manage a sharehouse in Australia for about 5 years, vetting new housemates and organising repairs. I'm chuffed to say there was a fair few repairs I could manage myself and kept the property in good enough knick that the landlord kept us significantly under market rates. I'm house proud, believe rules exist for a reason, and respect shared spaces by keeping them tidy (but don't mind the floordrobe in my own room!). I also enjoy yard work and I'm not bad with tools.

My background is in science (horticulture), but since leaving the industry I've ended up in more social and arts related work, so I'm open to anything and enjoy talking shop with anyone. I've lived in sharehouses the last decade and have had roommates of all sorts, so I know I can get on with most and don't hold many expectations for social dynamics, just the general respect of people's time, space, property, sleep, etc.

Let me know if you think I'm a fit for your flat and let's chat!
