Hi! Im Francisco and Im passionate about bikepacking and bike touring. I'm currently on my first big bikepacking journey. I'll cycle from Lisbon to Namibia by the African west coast, and then Botswana, Zimbabwe and the final stop, Mozambique. You can check my blog in here: https://livingtheafrikandream.blogspot.com/ , my instagram : fm.franca and my warmshowers page: https://www.warmshowers.org/user/296671

At the moment I'm in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 enjoying this lovely country!

I like to chat and drink tea/coffe together. For me, that's the best way to meet someone's ideas and culture. Meeting new people was one of the reasons I decided to create couchsurfing for this trip!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet locals and people who know more about the city and country I'm visiting. Theres a lot of knowledge and cultural understanding that i can't get by myself. I think its the human connections and friendships we make along the journey that make a travel memorable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed all my country by bike (although Portugal is not that big 😅, while bikepacking in summer).

I once hitchiked from Lisbon to Zurich with a friend!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach either Spanish, Portuguese and English as I'm fluent in the three of them! I can also teach about my country and maybe we can compare how things are similar or so different!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, my travelling stories, my passion to hear about their stories and life experience. I can help at home, cleaning or cooking. I can teach a bit of the languages i know and we can have really interesting conversations!
