Hi, I'm Rafael. I'm from the north of Portugal, dividing my time between Porto and my hometown in Vila Real.

I'm a musician, a music producer and I'm also getting a masters in audio/sound/production related stuff in university right now.

My own music project is 'Bié' (my alter ego. some Indie Rock/Folk Pop music). I'm the singer-songwriter and producer of my stuff.
I also play in other bands and projects.

Here's a link to my stuff (youtube/spotify/etc):

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Joined couchsurfing because I heard good things about it and decided to try it for my first European Tour. As a musician it is a great way to save precious money on the road and also to meet wonderful people that can make me feel connected more easily to the places I'm traveling to or stopping at :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Playing my first European Tour in 2024 which actually led me to use Couch Surfing for the first time!

教，学，和分享

I wanna learn about the places I'm staying at and I think that as a quite open minded person I really always loved to get to know new people and share stories and knowledge. If you like music, cinema, art in general or history those are all a bonus

我可以与沙发主分享些什么
