CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and connect with international Deaf communities

ABOUT ME

We are very easy going, openminded, love meeting new people to hear about their unique experiences, cultures, perspectives. We're more early to bed, early to rise people than late nite party people. We are very respectable to those who host us.

Christy is a wild succulent womyn who is deaf. Who has accomplished many things in 29 years of life. This year I am proud of organizing Vagina Monologues and starting this trip around the world with my wonderful amazing partner David!

Dave has traveled around Europe, Canada, Dominican Republic and most of the United States. Dave got involved with the Deaf Community 7 years ago and has worked as a sign language interpreter, camp counselor, job developer, etc.

We are traveling the world to meet and connect with Deaf people from other countries. We are interviewing and filming there stories to share through our website and blog. Please visit our website to learn more of what we are about =)

PHILOSOPHY

Music, Movies, and Books

Baraka
Movies that make you cry, laugh, feel something!

Live Music!...love to go to festivals, see music live...reggae, jam band, beeps and bops, etc.

Books...(Dave) non-fiction, biographies, current events, spirtuatlity...when I'm reading a book it affects my daily thoughts so I want it to be something I can apply to my life at that moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caving in the Waitimo caves, NZ.
Christy was on Survivor: the Amazon.
We both ran a marathon...sounded like a good idea at the time...do it again, eh.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sign language is not universal! Same roots as vocal languages for the same reasons.
