Hello, I'm Dillon
This isn't a ministry or a sales pitch. It's a conversation.
In October 2025, my partner Bre and I packed up our life in upstate New York and moved to a rural permaculture property in Uruguay. This is what I'm still learning — and what I want to help you figure out too.
01Two humans, one hopeful move
I'm a transgender and neurodivergent person, and I share my life with Bre and a patch of land that asks a lot of us and gives even more. We came for the slow mornings, the open sky, and a chance to build the kind of quiet, intentional life that felt out of reach where we were.
We didn't move to escape. We moved to arrive somewhere.
02Eat well, spend less
We're fully plant-based and feed ourselves on less than $100 USD a week. Not through scarcity — through knowing where to look, what to buy, and how to cook simply. Eating well in Uruguay is very possible, and I love sharing exactly how.
Good food is cheaper than you think when you know who to ask.
03Not a guru. Not a coach. Just a peer.
I'm not a clinical psychologist and I'm not going to pretend to be a guru. I'm a person who has done the hard, messy, hopeful work of relocating, and I want to be the person I wish I'd had to talk to. Peer support means we show up as equals — I share what I know, I listen, and I don't pretend to have all the answers.
I don't have it all figured out. That's the whole point.
04Sinking roots with others
What's kept me going is the community forming around all of this — artists, queer folks, neurodivergent people, and warm, welcoming Uruguayan locals who've taught us everything we know so far. New in Uruguay is my way of making room for more of that heartbeat: a soft place to land, a shared table, an honest conversation.
We're building a community here, from people who actually chose this.
If any of this sounds familiar, you don't have to figure it out alone. Let's start with a conversation.
