# A little bit about me (aka your roommate)
The owner of the place. 30s working professional in tech industry who likes minimalism and low-key living style. I spend more time outside (working in-office/hanging) than inside. I enjoy the occasional casual gathering with friends on weekends but generally keep things quiet. I love rock climbing, hiking, biking, puzzles, board games. And last but not least, I enjoy exploring new food restaurants because it's the universal love language.
# What I'm looking for
- Someone with a compatible lifestyle and will treat this place with respect.
- Someone with a common sense of taking the trash/recycle out when it's full and not having a rager at 11pm.
- Someone who will leave the common area as how they find it (aka clean up after themselves).
- Someone that appreciate direct and constructive discussion so we can both build trust and shared understanding.
- We can be friends (or not) so long as we maintain a harmonious and friendly living situation. Read More
