About Me

I’m Rafael (or Raf, or Rafa). I'm from Brazil, currently living in Rio de Janeiro. I’m an easy-going, friendly, spontaneous, extroverted guy and I love getting to know new people, specially from different cultures. I believe anyone can bring something valuable to someone else’s life. That is literally why I’m here (plus I enjoy the company).

I’M GAY 🏳️‍🌈 I like to make this very clear, cause you being ok with that is essential. I do prefer to host other LGBT people, cause its more familiar, but that’s just a preference. Anyone is welcome.

I’ve lived in the UK before. I love traveling around Brazil and Europe. I also plan to travel to Asia soon. I’ve been to 12 countries so far and hope I can visit more. I’m open to meet anyone, I don’t care about age, sexual preference or skin color. As long as you’re open-minded, we’ll get along great. I can host, meet or surf in your couch. We can cook, go places, talk about anything, go for a drink, and if we hit it off, could even travel together. If you welcome me into your home, you’ll forever have a place at mine, wherever that may be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here to make friends and have new experiences. For every vacation I get, I try to travel and experience life in new ways. I don’t travel to visit museums or landmarks, those experiences don’t really stay with me. I’d rather walk around, just go out and walk, explore, eat at a local restaurant, go to a bar, even shopping at the local market amuses me, as trivial as that may be. I like to experience the local life while I’m abroad, if that makes sense. To me its not just about a free accommodation and saving money. The best memories I have are of the people I’ve met and places I went to that I wouldn’t have if someone hadn’t shown me. This doesn’t mean expect you to show me around, go out with me and introduce me to everything lol no worries. I would never expect or impose something like that.

FILMS: Wouldn’t call myself a cinephile by any means, but I do love films. More contemporary rather than old/classic films. I’m not really a big black&white kind of person. My absolute favorite film is Black Swan. Natalie Portman ATE and left no crumbs. What an extraordinary performance.
