It bemuses that it seems like a whole bunch of professional poker players are sitting at home when poker should offer a wonderful opportunity to set yourself free.
I'm a pretty mainstream 24 y.o. living in Newcastle, Australia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle%2C_Australia) and have a spare room. Over December - March, we have an average daily maximum of 27 degrees celsius (80F), and I live about 50metres from the beach (

So, this southern summer (northern winter) I need a houstmate. I've got what I think is a pretty decent poker setup, which I hardly use during the day since I've got a 9-5 job as well.
So, in short, here's an offer:
You get:
a) opportunity to see a little of the world
b) room, poker setup, broadband, etc.
c) great timezone for poker - US "prime time" runs from about 10am - 4pm Aust time, which leaves evenings free for other stuff
d) avoid northern winter, and enjoy an aussie summer by the beach
e) the opportunity to have a "tour guide" through the major tourist cities of Sydney, Melbourne & Canberra (I travel a heap to those cities)
I get:
a) someone to chat to about poker who I can probably learn a heap from
b) some income to help with rent & costs etc.
Let me know if you reckon this is interesting (I'm already booked out
with a 2p2'er staying from late August through to sometime in November
- exact dates to be confirmed).
regards,
Michael
