Hello, Hola! I'm Xan: a dancer, healer, connecter, cat mama and cat myself😸, activist, performance artist who loves Love and Life more than anything. I feel and think deeply and want to affect positive change in our world. I want to see this glorious planet, swim in her oceans, meet her ever wondrous creatures. Coming from the gorgeous Pacific Northwest of the US aka Turtle Island, within a lineage of European, Chilean, American people, I hope to bless whoever's path I cross and learn from the abundant knowledge, beauty, and love humanity has to offer.

As a guest, I have very warm, light energy, I am very clean, respectful, considerate and caring, and enjoy a good balance of vibrant social connection, meaningful conversation, and peaceful solo time to recharge my energy. I am always looking for ways to help and contribute. I love music, singing, dancing, animals, nature…

Hosting: When I settle into my own nest after this year of traveling abroad, I can’t wait to be a Couchsurfing host. It gives me great joy to care for others and provide them a beautiful, nurturing, meaningful experience. Having people from all over the world in my home would bring so much light, life, and joy to the Capitalist routines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

2024-June 2025: I'm on a year long travel journey, to better understand this world and my place in it, to better learn how to live this one precious life, and collectively create a just, free, and abundant future for all. I want to deeply connect with and understand each place I visit; learning from the people, communities, and ecosystem, the languages, cultures, and share in exchange.
