Ian

I am seeking roommate(s) interested in teaming up to find a place or to move in to an established shared house/apartment. Home or character apartment preferred. Looking in the East Van, Mount Pleasant, Kitslano, and surrounding areas. I’m 30 (m) and open to all people, preferably around 25-35.

I’m from Winnipeg. My full time job is in culinary/kitchen work at a lovely little cafe. I also work 2 research jobs for Canadian Universities.

In my free time I practice yoga, write music (mostly ukelele), cycle, dance, read, bake, skateboard, and jog/exercise. I like pets, but have none.

In shared spaces I’m clean and efficient, born out of ten years kitchen work experience. To me, it is more important that roommates feel safe and non-judged, rather than feel pressured to keep everything spotless. Scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. Be the change you wish to see kind of thing. I would prefer a dynamic where roommates keep things clean together, fairly, and compassionately.

I have worked with non-violent communication and group therapy for years. So I am hopeful for an roommate(s) situation where we take some time to consider each others’ quirks and find the comfort to joke around and share the odd meal.

Hoping for openminded-ness, compassion, and good communication.

Excited to get to know more about you!

PS: Move-in date is flexible. I prefer a Jan 1st move in. My reason for moving out is my current roommate will not abide a reasonable noise curfew. They work odd hours and keep me awake 1, 2, sometimes 3am.
