I’m Francisco, a Chilean–Spanish traveler who has been on a journey of personal growth and expansion for the last three years through new and enriching experiences.
By profession I’m an engineer, but my true education has come from life itself — from traveling through Latin America, Europe, and a bit of Africa.

I’m passionate about nature, communication, human connection, dancing, and sports — especially kitesurfing and skiing. I love spending quality time being present, meeting unique people, and learning from one another.

I practice Reiki, meditation, downsing and I enjoy sharing good energy, deep conversations, and authentic, joyful moments.

I consider myself authentic, honest, calm, respectful, and adaptable — with a positive mindset, discipline, resilience, optimism, and inner peace.
I enjoy cooking, talking about ideas and entrepreneurship, helping at home, walking in nature, having a good coffee, and learning from every culture I encounter.
I believe every meeting is an opportunity to grow and plant something positive in others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel to grow as a person — to meet authentic people, share real experiences, and step away from the routine of touristic travel.

For me, Couchsurfing is a way to connect from the heart and meet people who live with deeper motivations and values.
I want to learn local customs, laugh, share ideas, and open my soul to new ways of seeing life.

I’m not only looking for a place to sleep, but for a human experience, a genuine exchange.
I believe everyone has something to teach and something to learn, and that every encounter leaves a small, beautiful mark.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love music that makes me sing or dance. I don’t have strict preferences — I listen to almost everything!
Mostly I enjoy Latin music, soul, reggae, Brazilian rhythms, and classic rock.

Movies: I’m not watching many lately, but some favorites I remember are Inception, Star Wars, Into the Wild, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Peaceful Warrior, Gladiator, Fast & Furious, Back to the Future, and Top Gun.
I also enjoy movies about World War II and the Game of Thrones series.

Books: Some that have marked my path are The Power of Now, The Four Agreements, The Alchemist, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, Believe It and You’ll See It, Atomic Habits, Harry Potter, and Me acompañas?.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing experiences of my life was spending months in the Pyrenees, teaching skiing — a sport I’ve practiced for years — working with kids, and sharing moments with people from many cultures.

Another unforgettable experience was volunteering in Portugal for four months, where I found a beautiful community and learned about permaculture, nutrition, and detox practices — a time full of human connection and learning.

I also value deeply my personal transformation — overcoming years of low energy and finding balance by focusing on my well-being, discipline, and spiritual growth.

Finally, deciding to travel with no fixed return was life-changing — leaving behind a stable life to follow my intuition, trusting that the path would reveal itself as I walked it.
