Hi! I'm Luis from Ecuador 🇪🇨. I'm a carpenter and business administrator. I love to travel, meet people from different cultures, and share meaningful experiences.

Right now, I’m living an adventure in France 🇫🇷, learning new woodworking techniques and growing both personally and professionally.

I’ve worked in tourism, I run a hostel in Baños de Agua Santa, and I love hosting people, having good conversations, and learning languages. I speak Spanish, have an intermediate level of English, and I'm learning French (with a little help from translators 😅).

I’m a community guy—I’ve done eco-trekking projects in my hometown and believe in positive cultural exchange.

¡Hola! Soy Luis, de Ecuador 🇪🇨❤. Soy carpintero y administrador de empresas. Me apasiona viajar, conocer personas de diferentes culturas y compartir experiencias que sumen. Actualmente estoy viviendo una aventura en Francia 🇫🇷, buscando aprender nuevas técnicas de carpintería y seguir creciendo personal y profesionalmente.

He trabajado en turismo, tengo un hostal en Baños de Agua Santa y me encanta recibir gente, compartir una buena charla y aprender idiomas. Hablo español, tengo un nivel intermedio de inglés y estoy aprendiendo francés (con ayuda de traductores a veces 🤣😅). Siempre tengo la mente abierta para aprender y ayudar donde pueda.

También tengo un espíritu voluntario, he hecho proyectos de trekking en mi comunidad, busco dejar huella positiva💫 donde voy, y creo en el poder del intercambio cultural

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet real people, not just visit places. I enjoy authentic cultural exchange, creating human connections, and living experiences you don’t find on typical tours. I also like to share what I have and gratefully receive what others offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling to France to live a new adventure on another continent 🤯🤯

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you Spanish, woodworking basics, and some delicious Ecuadorian recipes🍛🍲. I also love sharing life stories and personal development tools that have helped me grow.

Learn: I'm currently learning French 🇫🇷and improving my English. I’m always open to learning about new cultures, ways of thinking, and skills that can enrich my life.

Share: I love to share deep conversations, good vibes, and meaningful moments. I also enjoy cooking together, exchanging music, and exploring nature.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you with household chores, cleaning, gardening, or basic repairs. Since I'm a carpenter, if you need something made or fixed with wood, I’d love to help.
I can also cook Ecuadorian food (if the ingredients are available 😅),
share travel stories, or teach you Spanish if you're learning.
I'm respectful, tidy, and I adapt easily to any environment. I like to bring good vibes and leave everything better than I found it.
