I'm Swiss-Xicana (mexican american) and been living in Brussels for a few years studying a master of geography. I am currently living in Puebla and taking classes at the BUAP.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

⚠️ Right now, I’m in Mexico, so I can’t host at the moment.

I love traveling but try to approach it critically. I prefer to go to places where I have some connections, and when that’s not the case, the best way for me is by meeting locals, listening to their experiences, interests, and knowledge about the place. I’m always looking for community settings, and I try to avoid consumerist and colonial/imperialist tourism.

⚠️ After negative experiences with cis straight male hosts (which I had to report), I ONLY seek stays with women, nonbinary, trans, and/or queer hosts.

For these same reasons, and to help out fellow travelers, I prioritize hosting queer, nonbinary, trans people, and/(or women). I also value people with a political awareness of imperialism, colonialism, and heteronormativity, and i need to see this in your message.

⚠️ Ahorita estoy en México, así que no puedo ofrecer hospedaje.

Me encanta viajar, pero intento hacerlo con un enfoque crítico. Prefiero ir a lugares donde tengo alguna conexión y, cuando no es el caso, la mejor manera para mí es conocer personas locales, escuchar sus experiencias, intereses y conocimientos sobre el lugar. Siempre busco espacios de comunidad y trato de evitar el turismo consumista y el turismo colonial o imperialista.

⚠️ Después de experiencias negativas con anfitriones cis y hetero (que tuve que reportar), SOLO busco quedarme con mujeres, personas no binarias, trans y/o de la comunidad queer.

Por estas mismas razones, y para apoyar a otrxs viajerxs, doy prioridad a hospedar a personas queer, no binarias, trans y/o mujeres. También valoro a personas con alguna conciencia política sobre el imperialismo, el colonialismo y la heteronormatividad.

Interests

Any activities around and surrounded by nature work well for me. I love going on adventures through hitchhiking, camping and such. I also love exploring cities through local culture and art.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really into reusing and trying to minimize waste. I dumpster dive a lot and I'm just always blown away by all that is thrown away. So if you want tips and tricks on how to dumpster dive I would be glad to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you would like to learn French, English, Swissgerman and some spanish I would be happy to help.
