About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live what I love. I don't have extra money to verify but hopefully that won't deter too many people on here!

ABOUT ME

I'm Queer, nonbinary, Deaf, Autistic dancer and former acrobat! I believe in living life to the fullest in the moment and loving life and people to the fullest. I love coffee you can usually find me at a local coffee shop, like to make art and dance and partner acro. I have been all over the country competing gymnastics as a child and traveling as an adult but just finally went to out of the country to Thailand first time overseas to visit friends, would like to do more international travel. I'm learning BSL for my trip to the UK coming up. Love learning new things. My newest hobbies are getting certified in medical care and I just applied to occupational therapy school in England and Scotland! I hope i get in🤞🏻🤞🏻. If you stay with me you will probably see me upside down at least half of the time you see me right side up:) I've hosted a lot of houseless folks but need a break for now am travelling a bunch this spring/summer and might be able to host depending on dates.

PHILOSOPHY

Take things one step at a time and be present. Don't take anything for granted. Love with your whole heart. Take care of your body you only have one. Don't sweat the small stuff, you only live once. Take down the patriarchy and white supremacy!

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much any type of music, love dancing to House and techno at clubs, movies are great esp if they have queer and disability subtext, horror and suspense series I'm loving "Tell me your secrets" right now. I'm dyslexic and Deaf so not big on the books- though I can sometimes do audio books with captions yay Alexa accessibility!.:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done some really crazy gymnastics flips and twists in my life which I still can't believe I did esp the stuff on a 4 inch beam 4 feet in the air. I also more recently survived the housing crisis which I think is lesser acknowledged and in all honesty, much more difficult.

Teach, Learn, Share

All people have something to offer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love to share ASL. Really interested in learning more signed languages and happy to share what I've learned so far. Love to acro yoga with newbies. I like to clean.

England, Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland, South Korea, Thailand, United States
