CURRENT MISSION

In the daily struggle, with the peoples here and there. Building queer community, networks of care, pleasure, and friendship among people working for social justice and a dignified life for all. Getting to know my body, mind, and spirit through bodily and mental practices. Enjoying life as much as I can, and open to experiencing diverse universes.

ABOUT ME

I am a non-binary transmasculine person. I studied sociology and political studies. I love biking, jogging, yoga, and hiking in the mountains and nature. I enjoy cooking and trying new dishes at restaurants. I speak Spanish, some French, and a little English. We could exchange languages!

I dedicate a lot of time to social causes, working to achieve labor rights for precarious sectors of Colombian society and, of course, to the human rights of trans and non-binary people. If you are unfamiliar with transgender people and want to stay with me, I hope you take some time to do some research. I also hope that in your hosting request, you share your perspective on queerness and your vision of sharing with a transgender people. Above all, I want to ensure that my home remains a safe place for me and for everyone.

There are days when I work a lot and I won't be very available, and others when it's easier. In any case, I will be happy to have you at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling in northern Quebec, Canada, I made a stop. I almost died at -33 degrees Celsius. (Amazing and stupid thing)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you practice Spanish, and you can help me practice my English. I can teach you how to make patacones and eat chocolate with cheese. I can show you how to dance salsa. We can hang out at iconic places in La Candelaria, the most historic neighborhood, known as the city center, where I live. We can talk about gender dissidence and liminal experiences, as well as geopolitics, cultural studies, music, sociology, and we can go see cool movies at the Cinemateca de Bogota.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to spend time together, have a good conversation about our lives, the places we live, and our interests. I'd like to walk around the city and/or in nature. I can cook something from my hometown for you to enjoy and introduce you to some of the music I love. If you like to dance salsa, I can teach you, as well as some Spanish.
