  Description

  Hi, my name is DJ: a Nepalese Australian. I have been in Australia for 21 years. I have 2 adult children who don't live with me.
  I used to be a Himalayan trekking leader when I was young but now I work for a bus company.
  I like going to the gym, watching football (soccer) and talking politics.
  I'm fluent in the Nepalese language, and pretty good in Hindi and Bengali.
  I have a sprawling four bedroom, four bathroom house. It's close to the freeway but your room has air conditioning and a fan so you won't need to open the window and hear the noise.
  There is a nice 180° view of Wollongong City and the ocean from the lounge room and balcony.
  I have a flatmate Tim who keeps to himself. I have a cat named Rafa and Tim has two cats. His room is downstairs, yours is upstairs and private.

  The house has freeway noise but aircon and fans in the bedrooms mean you don't have to open the windows.
