Hola hola! My name is Gianfranco and I´m 27 years old and I’m originally from Chile and also I have an Italian citizenship.
As a profession I'm a dentist but after and identity crisis and understanding that it wasn't my passion I decided to leave that life behind and follow my dreams. I've been living in Barcelona for almost two years now working as a tour guide and also studying things like mindfulness, hypnosis, coaching the enneagram and sacred plants.

I'm always happy to meet open minded people who I can laugh, learn and share interesting conversations about any subject like sustaintability, spirituality or personal development. I love hearing people's ideas of how to make the earth a better place! I also love making new friends and gaining new stories and I´m always up for new adventures. I really like being in nature, vegan food, music and singing, practicing yoga, trekking, meditation and I enjoy partying sometimes too.
I love traveling because it opens your mind, destroy prejudices and it fills you in a way nothing else does.
I try to live in the now, enjoy life every single moment and be grateful for everything that I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet, laugh and learn from cool people from all over the world. I love making new friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any kind of music, right now I'm really into latin american music of any genre.
Love reading some of my favourite books are To kill a mockingbird, Steppenwolf and The wheel of life.
My favourite kind of movies are the ones who inspire you, the ones that open your mind and teach you something. "Life in a day" is one of those :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new words and expressions in different languages and learn from local traditions. Right now I'm trying to learn portuguese and a bit of Catalá.
I could teach Spanish and also English.
