Description

Hello,

My name is Colin and I’m a sociable, respectful 29-year old aid worker looking for a room to stay in between international contracts. I normally leave for 3-6 month stretches and would love to find a calm, welcoming home and housemates to stay with when I’m not at work.

I’m musical, creative, very clean, non-smoking, quiet, and communicative. I like to communicate housemate boundaries and preferences early to reduce the chance of conflict later.

My ideal home is clean (doesn’t need to be spotless, but well cared-for), smoke-free, social (but not a party house), close to nature, within walking or biking distance of amenities, and close to arts and culture.

I also teach yoga, love to read, and make a great cup of coffee, having worked as a barista in a past life.

What our customers are saying

Just found my 2nd roommate here. Roomies makes it easy and less stressful. Great place to find a roommate.

— Frank, Roomies user

I found the site to be clear of scams which is very much appreciated since there's so much garbage out there on the web.

— Arnold, Roomies user

Flawless design and user-friendly. I hope people really catch on to this app because it is well put together for people looking for affordable housing.

— Michael, Roomies user

Roomies is my #1 go to whenever I want to list a room for rent because I always have a better experience with them than any of the other sites out there.
