LOOKING FOR ROOMMATE: Orange County/LA County & Beyond
Name and Pronouns: Ernesto (He/Him)
Seeking a Kind, Spiritually Minded Friend & Future Travel Companion – OC/LA Area
I’m looking for one compatible person to build a genuine, platonic friendship with, with the long-term possibility of becoming immigration/travel partners and leaving the USA together. Moving abroad. I’m in my 30s, hoping to create a calm, safe, respectful, and harmonious living environment for just the two of us in a small town in Mexico. I’ve realized I thrive best in a small, peaceful household, so this is intentionally limited to one roommate only.
I want to create an affirming and inclusive space that welcomes authenticity. It would be explicitly feminist with no tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, or any form of discrimination. Everyone would be free to be their true self. For now, we would connect and spend time together in the OC/LA area to get to know each other naturally. You’ll need a valid passport (or the ability to obtain one) and to cover your own travel-related costs. The vision is to eventually relocate together to a simpler life abroad in a small-town with very basic conditions, away from urban scenes. Access to specialized medical care or medications (including hormones) may be limited, so this suits someone who travels light and adapts easily to quiet, intentional living. Unfortunately, no pets are allowed.
I’m profoundly spiritual and find deep peace through constant alignment with my higher power (Jesus), while remaining non-dogmatic and open to many paths. I’m not drawn to highly secular lifestyles. I’d love to connect with someone who also values God/Jesus/Krishna/higher consciousness, seeking Truth, and living in harmony.
I enjoy resting, mindful breathing, meditation, incense, candles, quiet reflection, and light-hearted conversations. My days often include early mornings for prayer or peaceful practices, and I appreciate a home that feels like a sanctuary… clean, calm, and serene.
I’m a genuinely friendly, warm, and loving person who values mutual respect, personal boundaries, and conscious communication. I’m primarily seeking a platonic friendship and a highly reliable travel partner. If a deeper connection naturally and slowly develops over time with full mutual interest and consent, I’d be open to exploring it gently, but only with complete respect for boundaries and a trauma-informed approach.
What I’m hoping for in a friend/roommate:
A kind, open-hearted person who values peace, personal boundaries, and conscious, harmonious living.
Someone spiritually minded (or eclectic/open) who shares a passion for higher Truth and alignment.
A positive, adaptable travel companion excited about simple, quiet life away from the US noise.
Someone comfortable with a calm routine, plenty of alone time, and a low-key, respectful home (no heavy partying or frequent overnight guests).
No Zionists please, and no antisemites or Islamophobic practitioners.
If this resonates with your soul, I’d love to hear a bit about you: your spiritual path, or what brings you peace, what you’re seeking in a friendship and living situation, and why a simpler life abroad calls to you. Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit for this big adventure. I would love to meet up for tea. Please include your name and location in your reply.
Looking forward to connecting with a like-minded soul.

LOOKING FOR ROOMMATE: Orange
Name and Pronouns: Burton (He/They)
Hi I’m Burton. I am looking for a room to rent in an apartment or house. I’ve had both gender of roommates before and I’m a trans ally. I’ve i.d as gay most of my life I’m 41 and I’m questioning that label because it feels like a box that don’t quite serve the bacon anymore, been embracing playing with masc/ fem and being a non-binary/queer.
I am very tidy, and enjoy hanging out once in a while but its not a priority, I know we all got busy lives. Not planning on having a-lot of guest over but occasionally if I know them.
I sing in the gay men’s chorus of OC and I am gonna be working full time at the Children’s hospital in Orange/ Santa Ana on a morning shift starting in late march.
I would say I’m a an extroverted/ introvert , so I like my down time when I’m at home. My hobbies include cooking healthy food, exercise outside, oldies music, epiphytic cactus, dabbling in drag lately, some past interests included figure drawing, animation, and tarot.
I’d love a place with private bath but could also share if we both keep on top of cleaning. Open to doing some yard work or home cleaning if that might be helpful to your situation in exchange for a reduce rent, but not necessary as I have full time work.
I love medium and larger dogs but I’m slightly allergic to cats so my preference is pet free or just one dog one cat type home. Looking to stay within a 25 minute commute of that hospital if possible.
Please get in touch if you would like to meet me to see if I might be a good fit for you and your place.

LOOKING FOR ROOMMATE: Downey
Name and Pronouns: Lee (He/Him/His)
2 bedroom UPSTAIRS unit for rent *soon* in a small 4 unit APARTMENT complex in DOWNEY, CA close to major shopping centers near the 605.
••$2,550•• per month, not including utilities.
Hoping to have a bigger queer lgbt trans community here in Downey so trying to spread the word about this apartment.
This is a very diverse neighborhood off of Imperial Hwy near the Downey Adult School, Cinemark, Walmart and a park across the street from the complex. Also has a skatepark at the park. Short walking distance to Jack in the Box.
The unit is not wheelchair accessible unfortunately it’s a lot of stairs & no ramps.
Comes with parking for one car but there is also street parking. Most likely will be available around April 1st or maybe May 1st. If you have kids, Gauldin Elementary is down the street and it’s a good school. Downey has a good school district.
I am not the landlord and I am not the property manager, I just am trying to spread the word to the community.
I know someone renting in the building who is trans friendly and queer friendly and lgbt welcoming.
Rent will be around ••$2,550•• per month, not including utilities.
There are also cats around there so hopefully you like cats a lot because there’s tons in the alley. Landlord not accepting pets unfortunately. The neighborhood is safe compared to other parts of LA, and safer than the surrounding cities/areas. For lgbt friendliness it’s okay, not as great as Long Beach, but it’s fine. Long Beach is nearby if you ever want to be around more lgbt community or lgbt specific places. Here in Downey they have Pride once a year and the Cinemark is lgbt friendly. The Greater Whittier LGBTQ Center is relatively close if you have a car, they have groups there and resources as well as a weekly food bank.
Hopefully this helps someone looking for a place in April or May. They will likely be asking for deposit as well. Text if u have any questions.

Caregiver Seeking Room in South Orange County (Housing + Light Rent Exchange)
Hello! I’m posting on behalf of Rocco, a kind and responsible older gentleman who is seeking a room to rent in South Orange County.
Rocco is hoping to find a home where he can provide caregiving assistance in exchange for housing, and he can also contribute a small amount toward rent if needed. He previously cared for my mother, who truly appreciated him—he is compassionate, attentive, and dependable.
He is an experienced caregiver, a wonderful cook, and takes pride in keeping a clean and organized home (including laundry and general household tasks). He is a licensed driver with his own truck, and he is warm, respectful, and easy to live with. He also has a delightful, well-behaved blue-crowned conure.
