I used to be a freelance editor and digital nomad travelling around the world. I now work full-time at Conestoga College (from home 3-4 days a week). I’m looking for a person to share my 2-bedroom condo on a short-term basis–a perfect situation for med students, grad students, placements/co-ops/interns, digital nomads looking for a temporary home.

I’m quiet and tidy, but also relaxed and fun. Prefer a minimum 4-month commitment (to align with academic terms), but I am open to both longer and shorter arrangements for contracts, placements, clinical rotations and other folks who need short-term accommodation in the region, depending on the circumstances etc.

As a woman, I do generally prefer a woman to share my space, but I’m open to anyone who’s a good fit! I’m easy going, friendly, and respectful and looking for someone who’s the same. Please share some details about yourself and your situation when contacting me. Please also mention the Iron Horse Trail in your response to show that you’ve read this entire listing. Thanks!
