I am a mature student from Glasgow, Scotland. I'll be in WA for the 2nd year of my PhD in Creative Writing. It's a collaboration between Aberdeen University in Scotland and Curtin. I'll only very occasionally be on campus so can easily live quite far out. Really I'm looking for somewhere quiet where I can walk and write. Most of my working life has been in 'the arts', as a writer, performer, teacher etc, and I am looking forward to getting to grips with various aspects of Western Australia's historical, indigenous, and contemporary culture. I'm sociable and curious , but also enjoy my own company. As I'll be away from my own family - including my wonderful grown up daughter -for some considerable time, the idea of being in a family home appeals to me. I'm looking for a long let, but I'm also open to taking a shorter let to begin with, until I find my feet etc.
