Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nos disculpamos por no contestar mensajes, somos bien desorganizados, y siempre entre proyectos y trabajos. No queremos ser sus plan A. Si realmente podemos les responderemos. Tambien pueden escribir a larizoma.nicaragua@gmail.com

We apologize for not answering mensajes, we are very disorganized and are always between work and proyects. We do not want to you your plan A. If we feel that we can host, we will reply. You can also write us to: larizoma.nicaragua@gmail.com

Lets get real: Before you request to stay with us, please make sure you understand the following terms:

-White Savior Complex
-Tourism as Gentrification
-Neoliberal-Patriarchal-Industrial-Colonial-Complex
-Traveling for pleasure vs Traveling as necessity (as in "traveling to "find yourself" vs "Escaping violent inhabitable conditions"
-Privilege (White, Male, European, etc)

Also, please read: The View from the Veranda: Understanding Todays Colonial Student. Here: http://www.yale.edu/yalecollege/international/predeparture/pdf/veranda.pdf

Have you considered not traveling and instead organizing (or joining other organizers) in your community to fight police brutality, poverty, food deserts, gentrification?

Vamos al grano: Antes de pedir si se pueden quedar con nosotrxs, porfavor entendiendan los siguientes terminos:

-Complejo de "Salvador"
-Turismo como agente gentrificador
-Complejo-Neoliberal-Colonial-Patriarcal-Industrial
-Viajar por placer vs Viajar por Necesidad (Viajar para "encontrarse a uno mismo vs Viajar porque uno esta escapando condiciones violentas invivibles.
-Privilegios (ya sean masculinos, blancos, europeos, etc.)

En que manera tu viaje enfrentara el contexto global de pobreza y violencia Capitalista?
