Hello there !

This is Francisco, a regular Mexican gay guy living in Playa del Carmen.

The main reason I’m in CS is to practice the languages I’m currently learning; French, Italian and German .

I’ve been a CS member since 2011 but because I lost my old password I had to create a new account. If you want to see my old references, here is the link:

I’m not very much into partying and clubbing which it might seem weird because you will find a lot of that in this city.

I really enjoy cultural conversations and sharing life experiences. If it’s in another language , that’s even better.
I love exploring new places and enjoying the nice landscapes of the region.

If you’re looking for a place to stay, please CHECK AND READ all the info in the Couch section before sending your request. I will immediately ignore all the requests from surfers who don’t take the time to read it .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using Couchsurfing mostly for traveling , now I’m more trying to improve my languages skills and meeting interesting people to connect with.
All my experiences in CS have been great.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don’t mind hosting guests who do CS in order to save some money, however, I definitely expect to spend quality time together, practicing languages or having a nice conversation.
I prefer short stays (arriving on Thursday, spending time on Friday and leaving on Saturday) but I can always make some exceptions.
Because of work I can take you to some excursions in the region; Chichen Iza, Tulum, Cenotes , Theme Parks, etc, if you are interested in doing this , it must be only on Fridays.
