James B - $2,500/month

Little in life brings me more joy than vibrant conversations with interesting people, especially when enjoyed over some quality food. I'm hoping to move to New York in the winter to continue a career in luxury spirits marketing, having spent the last decade as the world's worst superhero - politics, philosophy and economics nerd by day and fancy-pants bartender by night.

Anything with a bit of 'culture' gets me going, whether that's a cool bookstore, some funky local music or getting introduced to a friends' particular subculture. In New York I can't wait to meet some great people from all sorts of backgrounds and places - few cities can rival London for the beautiful broth of its melting pot, but I reckon New York has it all!

I am a very relaxed and easy-going housemate that definitely prefers to keep things tidy but isn't a horrendous stickler and am much more inclined to being gently upfront than passive aggressive, and will always pull my weight and more, provided my housemates do the same.
