CURRENT MISSION Meet people, travel and have great moments. ABOUT ME I'm 38 years old, I was born in Valparaíso Chile, and actually im living in Puerto Montt, PHILOSOPHY Love my country!

Hi! I’m Andrés, a chemical engineer and maker from southern Chile (Patagonia/Puerto Montt area). I work in industrial water processing and aquaculture technology, which regularly brings me to Europe for technical projects. Beyond engineering and process science, I’m deeply curious about practical crafts, geology, and material behavior. In my spare time I practice traditional metalworking (working with silver, copper alloys, and patinas), mineral collecting, and lapidary. At home, you’ll usually find me tinkering with technical projects, enjoying coastal life, sailing, or spending time with my family. For this stretch across Jutland, I wanted to experience everyday Danish culture firsthand rather than sticking exclusively to hotels. Couchsurfing offers a grounded way to share genuine cultural exchange, talk about local history, science, craft traditions, and life in Scandinavia."

Hola 👋 Me llamo Gianfranco pero prefiero que me digan “Gian”, tengo 37 años y vivo hace poco aquí en Puerto Montt (vine desde Santiago). Soy ingeniero acuícola y trabajo en la industria del salmón. Me gusta hacer actividades al aire libre (salir a recorrer la ciudad, cerros, observación de naturaleza, bucear, etc) pero también disfruto mucho de estar en casa cocinando, estudiando o compartiendo mi espacio con más personas. Disfruto compartir con personas de otros países, tanto para enseñar sobre mi cultura como para aprender de la suya. Hi 👋 I'm Gianfranco, but I like to be called “Gian”. I’m 36 and recently moved to Puerto Montt (came from Santiago). I’m an aquaculture engineer and I work in the Chilean salmon industry. I like to do outdoor activities and going out in the city. But I also enjoy staying inside cooking, studying or sharing my space and time with others. I really like to spend time with people from other countries, to learn about their culture and share about mine.
