Overview
About Me
I'm a mixed (white/arabian) transgirl that wants to progress the state of human rights to be inclusive of all groups.
I'm not completely out yet, but should be by the end of this year :)
While I've experience the expected racism, transphobia, and physical violence that anyone in a similar postion will have experienced, I try to not let it define who I am because there's so much more to life than negative experiences.
Beautiful vistas, amazing people, and great stories are the things I love about life. To be able to live a life so full of joy and awe that one has no other choice but to say that life is a thing to be cherished, even by those who meet with mountains of adversity and unfortunate circumstances.
I have intentions to travel for a year starting in 2017. I miss the adventure, the feeling of pure freedom, and experiences that will give me stories to tell for the rest of my life. It's something that gives life truth and meaning for me. I suppose most people on here feel the same way though.
I have intentions to go to law school once I finish travelling so I can drive social change to positively impact the LGBT community. It's something that will take a significant amount of work, but it will be worth it as long as I can improve the life of others and give them what I wish I had while growing up.
I've also had some pretty amazing adventures and scary experiences while travelling that I'd love to share with anyone that hosts me, or anyone I end up hosting!:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm fairly decent when it comes to writing and math. I'm also well versed with computers, cameras, andmost things related to technology.
I wish I could say that I can teach people to skydive, but I've only had 41 jumps and it's been a while since my last. =P
I'm a very organized person, so I can teach you some tricks if you've always had trouble getting things in order.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have a military background, so you'll be able to count on me to keep things super clean!:)
I'm also somewhat decent on prepping food...though my best dishes aren't the most healthy ones haha xP
Some crazy stories involving potential death causing situations!
Good times, friendship, and high fives!!! :)
