make sure you find someone that has the same ideas as you. I would suggest going out and relaxing over dinner and chatting.

My housemate and I get on well. I found her through a friend of mine. She is the same nationality as me. She works for Qatar Airways in a management position, so she travels alot... which is a bonus as we both get our space.

You must have the same or similar out look to life... or you will be butting heads constantly.
