I'm Fran and I live in Santiago, Chile. I studied a BA in Letters with a minor in English Linguistics and Literature and BA in Aesthetics at PUC.

For me, experiences are always meaningful and you can learn something new every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always try to do my best at answering people's questions about my country and whenever I have time, I hang out with couchsurfers. I haven't hosted anybody at my place because I have no space BUT I could be really helpfull. I can also help as a tour guide :)

My entire experience at CS has been absolutely GREAT. From the very first time I was hosted in Madrid, or the first time I hang out with a CS friend in Santiago.

Interests

I love reading, watching movies and riding my bike.

In 2010 I traveled Santiago-Viña del Mar (120 kms). That trip was a real challenge for me!

I would like to learn more about watercolor. When I was in college I took a course about it and I fell in love with this technique. I have to say that watercolor also helped me to understand more arts. I think knowing about art techniques allows people to understand (more) the art process as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013 I went to Puerto Madryn, Argentina, to see whales. I think I'll never forget these memories. I could say this is one of the most important trips I've ever done not only because I saw almost 20 whales right in front of me, but also because Puerto Madryn is a really special place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach English, Spanish, and a bit of Latin American and Chilean cinema, etc.
I'd love to learn more languages as well!
