CURRENT MISSION Travel and meet new people all over the world ABOUT ME Hello, my name is Raquel, I'm a photographer (raquellimafotos.com), 33, vegetarian and Brasilian. I love traveling, learning and having the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and cats (I definitely love cats, especially my cats!). When I was 21 I did an interchange to USA, for 3 months, to a city called Wendover; with 23 I worked for 2 months in a cruise ship that traveled around some Mediterranean cities; with 25 I moved from Brazil to Spain, Madrid and lived there for almost 8 years. Now, since July 2017, I'm living in Berlin. PHILOSOPHY Nina Simone can Illustrate this part "I wish I knew how It would feel to be free I wish I could break All the chains holding me I wish I could say All the things that I should say Say 'em loud say 'em clear For the whole round world to hear I wish I could share All the love that's in my heart Remove all the bars That keep us apart I wish you could know What it means to be me Then you'd see and agree That every man should be free"

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I'm always doing incredible things which help me to understand and know myself better.
Teach, Learn, Share
You can always learn something with another person. I thought that I was not prepared to teach anything to anybody, but I've been discovering that even when you think that you don't know too much about a thing, this little you know, can be too much for the ones who need.
What I Can Share With Hosts
A touristic visit in Berlin, a beer, some vegetarian/vegan food.
