Hello all, my name's Julian! I'm from the Central Valley of California, born and raised by Mexican immigrants. I'm 25, gay, and vegan. I've been vegan for over 7 years, gay for 25 and counting :-) I just finished grad school in December 2023 from UC Santa Cruz and I'm spending the rest of 2024 travelling before I start my next life chapter!

I've got a lot of interests that I've spread myself across (too many fun things)!! I got into ceramics and fell in love with it. I've been a Registered Yoga Teacher since March 2020. I love to make music with my little sister, and am big into live music/concerts. I've been to over 70 concerts so far, and I'm just starting!! I love to cook and make bread. Also dabbled in wood working, that's cool too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a tad bit of piano, or the basics of conversational English and Spanish. I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (200 hr), and would be delighted to share my current knowledge and teach a class of any length! I also love to cook vegan food and make bread!
