Jackson Van Raan

I am easy going, goofy, clean, communicative, accommodating and intentional. I attend Smith school of Social Work. My goal is to be a Somatic Therapist. I prefer to rent in a furnished house. While I am a social person and am fine with noise during the day, it is necessary for me to move into a space that is quiet at night because I am a light sleeper. I have lived in cities and with people before and had to move out due to not getting adequate sleep, so this is important for me.

More about me: I am independent and have enjoyed past living situations in my own private space. On another hand, I am social and have enjoyed communal style living situations. I am happy to have my own private space and respect the privacy of others, or to take part in a shared or communal living space, if we get along and mesh well. I am fun, no drama, and able to laugh at myself. I am active and social, and enjoy a peaceful home. I practice and teach yoga, meditation, and breathwork. If you are interested, I am happy to practice with you. Also happy to keep this stuff to myself if it is not your cup of tea. I pay attention to my personal development, mental and physical health. I do not smoke, but don’t mind if you do. I do drink but not excessively. I enjoy mezcal, red wine and beer. I also enjoy tea & herbal concoctions. I watch very little TV. My favorite movie genres are: Comedies, Horrors & documentaries. I spend a lot of time in nature: hiking, camping, frolicking & foraging. I enjoy cooking and DIY projects, such as fermenting, herbalism and crafting. I enjoy live music, festivals, farmers markets, dinner nights & dance parties. I am cys-gender, heterosexual, and am friendly to all types of people & identities. I don’t have a preference of age, gender, religious or political views of who I live with, as long as we get along and have good communication. Let’s have a phone conversation to see if it will be a good fit.
