Olá! My name is Rafael, I'm 22 and I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering in sunny Lisbon, Portugal.
I love to travel and discover new things and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, get insights of the city from whom really knows.

Interests

I like music festivals, apart from the toilets. I saw Tame Impala, Foals, Radiohead, Royal Blood and many others in Portugal.
I was a cyclist for 3 years until I went to college. I loved it, even though my summer tan was awful.
I like watching and playing football. The lower the division the better! If there were a Sunday League in Portugal, I would definetely be the guy that arrives to the game still drunk from the night before.

Music, Movies, and Books

Speaking of music, I like the rock and indie rock scene. I'm really into Britpop.
In terms of books, I like distopies but unfortunately I don't read a lot.
Movies: there are waaay too many, but if I had to name a few I'd say Trainspotting 1 and 2 and Shutter Island.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a one week solo trip around Scotland. I loved it. Met some incredible people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I met a girl in Inverness that had a tattoo that said "vir a ser", which means "Becoming". I really liked that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Joy and a few laughs! And I can wash the dishes
