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"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

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.
