My name is Rafaela and I live in Portugal. I'm just a random 22-year-old trying to make something out of myself one day.
I can be very geeky when it comes to something I like. I love sports, specially football.
Also, I could spend my life watching TV series and movies. I also love to watch those cooking shows and random programmes about weddings. I'm a big kid when it comes to Disney or Pixar. I'm obsessed over their cartoons.
I really like to travel, even though I've never traveled much - however, I'm working on it!

I don't know what I want to do with my life, but it would be great if I got a job which provided me opportunities to travel and just speak English (the only thing I'm good at, really) and other languages I could learn someday.

Random facts:
I collect fridge magnets and postcards.
My favourite colour is blue.
I have a dog named Madonna.
My favourite bands/artists are Arctic Monkeys, Bon Jovi and Beyoncé.
My impossible dream is to fly like Peter Pan.
Benfica, a Portuguese football club, is the team I support with all my heart. They're the love of my life.
I love talking about nothing and about everything - long deep conversations are my favourite.
I can't stand octopus and onions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just stumbled across the term "couchsurfing" randomly and, when I googled it, it sounded beyond interesting. I could spend my life traveling, but I haven't had many opportunities. To host people at my house and to be hosted would open many doors for me and for everyone else to travel more, to get to know more about the place we're visiting, since we have the advices/help from a local and not some touristic agent who tells us about the most well known spots.
