Hi! I'm Francisco, a chilean/italian economist and pizzaiolo apprentice born in Santiago, Chile, some years ago. After living my whole life in Chile, I moved in 2016 (for 6 months )to Madrid, Spain, because of my job. Then I realized that I wanted to come back to Europe. But this time, for longer.

I'm currently based on Rimini, Italy, studying a sustainability (Resource Economics & Sustainable Development) master degree at University of Bologna, and learning everyday about the wonderful italian gastronomy (I can say my favorite pasta until now is: raddichio-panna-speck and All'Amatriciana).

I really enjoy bread making (in general). So I took a one-month course in Chile, before heading to Italy. Also, I did one short pizza-making course. I usually make pizza everywhere I go, so my hosts can enjoy as much as me.
I'm also a yoga enthusiast and I love to ride my bike and my Bureo skateboard (made from recycled fishing nets, in Chile).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Coachsurfing because, after finishing my academic year (June 2018), I'm looking forward to travel around Europe, while meeting new people, learning and (I hope) teaching.

The last books I read (or I'm reading): "Autobiography of a Yogi" (Paramahansa Yogananda), "Dormir, soñar o Morir" (Dalai Lama/Francisco Varela), "The little prince" (because it was in Italian :)), "Detectives Salvajes" (Roberto Bolaño).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uh, I guess the most amazing things happen everyday, but the last thing I could pick is baking tons of pizza in a street festival in Switzerland, with some amazing people!
