About Me

Most of this profile is ten years old, I don’t want to erase my old description or profile because it would be sad to forget that hopeful and adventurous young traveler.
This is a more updated about me: I am interested in community organizing , activism, non institutional politics, autonomous spaces and critical thinking. I love to cook vegan food and feel that sharing food is a central part of community building and connection. I like zines, bikes, reggaeton and people who are fun but also engaged with the world and hopefully some resistance politics too. I also love to talk and read about queer theory, gender theory and critical feminism. I don’t have any time for swerfs/terfs and homophobes thnx!
I have hosted in Australia , Berlin and Granada as well as couchsurfed a lot. I understand that reciprocity and consideration are fundamental to couchsurfing and travelling in general.

avoid in every way possible an ordained and narrow life

PHILOSOPHY

We can learn trade, tradition or talent but tolerance is the only universal tool.
i am not a slave to my possesions,less material wealth is more freedom
(though i am a bit of a travelling circus right now)

-It may indeed be the highest wisdom to elect to be a nobody in a relative paradise such as this rather than a celebrity in a world which has lost all sense of values.. henry miller

-Intimacy is the principal source of the sugars with which life is sweetened..tom robbins
