Receive Text UpdatesOdessa & fam have enjoyed many outdoor camping & climbing trips in her 5yrs. Big wall climbs since she could walk. camping, laying in the hot sand star gazing at night, no tent needed. She was a fish in another life and has been doing front flips since 2yrs old. Legally blind from birth due to her albinism, she “see’s” this world differently, it’s beautiful to watchher do this world even though she is blind. Her electric purple/violet eyes light up when she’s exploring, truly giddy with bliss.
Odessa loves any and all animals, dogs mainly, she has started working with service dogs. But she really connects differently to any animal due to her visual impairments. Animals and her speak differently to each other, that 6th sense is real bt her and all creatures. Tigers are her favorite and she loves to howl with the wolves near we live.
This little Q-tip (nickname) as we call her bc of her stark white hair, just loves to Explore really. 🤍 for scavenger hunts to see what she can uncover or overturn. Enjoys warmer weather as the snow & sun combo reflection is hard on her eyes. Loves rolling around on a hot sandy beach, climbing trees, sleeping in treehouses, slacklining, rock climbing and dancing in the rain
