Hey! I’m Luis, im a Chilean traveller. My passion is to meet new people and cultures while i travel the world, most of the time with my bike.

Im open minded and i like to discuss a broad variety of topics, especially music, films, gastronomy and history.
Im friendly and optimistic, i have a lot to offer -mostly jokes- always with respect of others.

I have a degree in environmental biology, wild animals are a huge topic for me. I love birdwatching and just being in the stuning nature.

I talk fluidly in español and english, and im currently learning french. I can understand portuguese and italiano, but im not the best at talking them. Also i mix all these languages into a weird/cool new way to talk

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to not feel like a tourist, for me is very important to -at least try to- feel like a local. Also i love talking with new people and share experiences related to travel and adventure. Also i really want to practice my french and my english.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My last travel was early this summer, i did Madrid - Toulouse with my bicycle. But in 2023 i tried to do this crazy ultracycling challenge called Paris-Brest-Paris. Just 1200k in 90h that i couldnt finish. After that i did Toulouse - Lyon and Genova - Bologna, by bike.
Early this year i did half Carretera Austral, a chilean road in Patagonia, with stuning views and wildness all around.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach bad words in chilean spanish, how it is to travel with a minimalistic bikepacking gear and my way of life. I want to learn about history, experiences, and to talk like a native french ulalá jaja.
