Erika

My name is Erika and I’m a Master’s student searching for a roommate in Boise, preferably a house in the North End area. I’d like to move in in the fall or winter, preferably.

A bit about me: I just got back home to Meridian from living and studying abroad since 2018. I study and work part-time, so my schedule varies by day. I enjoy hiking and baking in my free time.

Please respond by sharing a bit about yourself and how you think we might be a good match. I am gender-affirming and would prefer LGBT+, open-minded, and/or neurodiverse individuals.

More details about my schedule and interests: In my free time, I like to spend my time outside, either alone or with others. On the weekends, I often head out to hike and bike, or stay in to read and study.

I’m a student, and work part-time at a cafe. During the week, I’m usually asleep by 10:30 and up by 6. On the weekends, I’m usually asleep by 12 and up around 9.

My dog will be back in Idaho probably sometime around November, so I’ll need to find a place/match that accepts dogs. He’s a good boy – he’s originally from Idaho but he lived with me in Norway for two years. He’s a border collie/aussie mix. He will probably be at my parents’ house a bunch too, so not always at my place.

‍I’m a pretty social person once we get to know one another, but I also need my alone time. I want my house to be a place where I can have people over, but not a place that’s constantly full of people. Hosting parties works for me too, as long as we communicate ahead of time. I’m down to get to know each other; I’m not saying we have to be best friends, but I would like to do things like occasionally watch TV together and host cook outs for friends.

I like to keep common living spaces clean. I do my dishes every day and put away my belongings when I get home from work. I’m open to the idea of a cleaning schedule to keep things organized.

To potentially have a yard/balcony would be a bonus. I would like my own bedroom, and I’m open to living with 1-3+ other people. If the bedrooms are sized differently enough to justify different prices, I’m happy staying in the larger or smaller room.

Here are some quirks and relevant information: I’m sometimes overwhelmed by loud noises. So, if you’re someone that needs to have the volume on the TV up to the maximum, we might not be the best fit. With that said, I’m not going to get upset at you for making popcorn at night or watching your favorite TV show at a normal volume.
