I'm Francisco a chilean guy who moved to Madrid in 2018. After three years living in that beautiful country I decided to quit my job and travel for a year. After this one year trip from California to Chile, I traveled to New York where I find a job staying for seven months. Now I’m back on traveling and exploring for a while, longer than the last one for sure.

More about me, I am a photographer and I love travel photography. I want to get to know different cultures, landscapes, food, people and whatever is out there around the world. I enjoy a lot trekking, outdoor plans and whatever involving nature. Love animals and good people. I like practicing sports, positive, easy going and happy living the life that fills my soul up. I love playing tennis and football. One of my other passions is biking, I love riding my bicycle 💚.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting people from everywhere, sharing experiences, cultures, practicing and learning languages, having good conversations and listening how others see the world. I’m happy giving a hand to those who are traveling around and get some of their travel experiences sharing with them when I’m not able to. Also, I think there is no a better way of getting to know a place but through a CS host. Back in the days in Chile I hitchhiked around 6000km where I met and spent time with lots of great people, and I loved it, staying at places of people just met on the road was a great experience.
