About Me

They/them pronouns! Currently traveling around india for the foreseeable future to connect with my ancestry, learn more about yoga, tap into spirituality, connect with nature 💖✨

I like to play. I like to dance. I love people and am a lover. In general, I'm curious. I love food and sharing experiences, cooking for others. Nothing is weird or normal to me. Trying new things might as well be my drug of choice. I like coffee, though I don't need it. I got a sunburn on my eyeball once. I want to learn 10 languages by the time I'm 50! Life is an adventure book I love getting lost in the pages of. I love listening to others' and about their life stories and feel opened minded to what life has to offer. List-making ranks high on my list of skills. I wish I was a better writer, but I love writing and reading. I love music. I think I operate with less fear than the average person. I appreciate the humanity in people above all else.

People make me happy and I'm very lucky to have the life, friends, and opportunities that I do.

I'm a very fluid person in all respects. I love art, love, animals, and love others that feel similarly.
