Heyoooo

I packed up everything in Canada and I'm moving through the rest of the world until I learn enough or build enough community or gain enough strength to settle down again and get back to the struggle full time. Or I run out of money. That's more likely 😅

**Even if you can't host me but think we'd get along, I'd love for you to show me your fave spot while I'm in your city! Or play a boardgame 😊 im also happy to bounce around if you can only do a night or two of my stay!

I'm a queer, gender non-conforming (if you treat me like a human you can call me whatever pronouns, but I prefer they/them) Mexican-Canadian humanoid weirdo. I talk about indigenous sovereignty, colonization, genocide, gender, power, etymology, how fucked the academy is, fake news, love, community, collective dreaming, and utopia a lot.... I love conversations, I think they change the world.

I don't drink, if you get too drunk around me, I'll leave 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very 420 friendly, into experimenting otherwise, but usually I don't get affected much!

I'm simultaneously burnt out from back home, and refreshed from the beautiful cities and people I am getting to know since leaving 💗 let's be kind to each other.

Oh yeah, I have an undergrad degree from the University of Toronto: Specialist in Women and Gender Studies (ask me about my thesis) and a Major in Sexual Diversity Studies. Before that I studied International Relations and Environment and Resource Studies at the University of Waterloo, but when your professors tell you to switch schools and programs.. you listen. Life is interesting!
