Hi! My name is Francesca Tinelli but everyone calls me Fran! I finished getting my degree in Marketing in the Military University in Colombia . However, much of my degree I chose to do abroad because I love to meet new people and get to know different cultures. I am an adventure seeking, compassionate, and outgoing girl who gets along with anyone and everyone. I am figuring my way out and have tons to learn from other people and hopefully much to share with those who are willing to learn from me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends have told me a lot about it, and I thought it would be amazing to meet people and new cultures in this way! Being in someones home is the ultimate way to fully immerse yourself in how a culture works, or what a person is like. I thought it would be interesting to try out!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music: I listen to all kinds of music: opera, rock, reggaeton... 😁🙈

I like to read about marketing, business, Buddhism and spirituality.
