Starting at VUW at the end of April. Ideally, I'd like to be close to VUW. Walking distance (30 mins) would be great! More about me: I'm an international PhD student from the United States. I taught high school in both New Zealand and in the USA before returning to school myself for the PhD, so friends sometimes say I have "teacher vibes". :-) As a roommate I'm a quiet and clean person, mindful of others and their spaces. I have simple tastes and don't need anything too fancy. I'm a fan of nature, the outdoors, and staying fit. Hobbies include photography and shortwave radio. I'm probably going to be best friends with your cat. 🐱 I've been renting a room from a university professor in the United States who is happy to provide a reference.
