Som Paris

Paris is a child of the boricua diaspora who, born in Oklahoma to a pair of travelling evangelical preachers was carried around the world on their missions, from Southern Africa, to West Asia, to the Soviet Union, and around the U.S. She ran away to Australia after high school and ran out of money studying tropical ecology, eventually surviving by living in a tree. With the prospect of free education in England she grudgingly moved to Europe but then soon dove blissfully into studying history, literature, and philosophy

After eleven years in England and five years in an office her soul was slipping away and so she finally took the steps to fulfil a lifelong dream and moved out to live in the woods. In Galiza, in Northern Iberia, she surrounded herself with vegetable gardens and books she began writing articles and then novels. When she came out as transgender she turned her little forest with her own homemade wooden homes into a nature space for trans and queer people.
