Hi, I'm Fabiola, but most people call me Fa. I’m a Chilean-Canadian Designer from Montreal. I speak English and Spanish (and I’m studying French at an intermediate level). Most of the time, I’m with Julien (he speaks French and English), but we speak English together.

I’m originally from Chile, I was born in Santiago, the capital of Chile, but my whole family moves to “Valparaiso”.

I’ve traveled to many countries and lived in several cities. I only make a list of the countries/cities i lived in (bc Ive traveled too many places)
In 2013-2014 I lived in Lyon and Saint-Étienne, France.
In 2017, I moved to Berkeley, California
In 2017, I ended up in Tulum, on Mexico’s Riviera Maya Caribbean - something completely beautiful and unplanned!
At the end of 2018, I moved permanently to Canada. I first lived in Toronto,
In 2018, I moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, to specialize in structural design and worked in engineering firms for five years.
In 2023, I moved to Montreal for work.
Now in 2025, my boyfriend and I are moving to France.
We’ll first be in Troyes, where his family lives, and later (depending on work) we’ll move to a larger city close to Troyes, probably Paris, Lyon or Lille. In the meantime, we’re exploring different places in France to see where we feel most comfortable and best integrated, and also taking the chance to travel around Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We’re mainly interested in meeting local people and making new friends in France to be honest because I don’t know anybody here. Couchsurfing people are always kind, open, and welcoming—probably because they’re travelers too. That's priceless! I also enjoy discovering the “real culture” through locals, rather than being a “typical tourist.”
