24 year old PhD student, looking for accommodation in Gent for 8 months

I am a PhD student in science at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. I am currently doing a joint PhD with UGent and will be doing an 8-month research stay in Gent from the end of February 2019. 

I have lived in Gent before for 4 months in 2017 for my Master’s and feel pretty comfortable and at home in the city already. I speak Afrikaans (and learning Dutch), I’m extroverted and love socialising but I am not a loud or noisy housemate. I’m extremely sporty so I’ll probably be out climbing most evenings or trying other sports. I do not smoke and don't mind pets.

I love traveling and have travelled alone mostly so I'm pretty independent. I do love to cook and host board game evenings.
