Hey! I am Rafael, originally from Brazil but living in the UK.

I am a friendly, easy-going guy who loves meeting people from different cultures. Passionate about languages and travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people, learn about different cultures, and share good vibes while travelling. I've had great experiences on Couchsurfing before, so I'm here to keep the good energy going and connect with more people around the world.

Interests

I am really into tech and love learning how things work, whether it is a new gadget, a bit of code, or some random software I have decided to obsess over for a week (I am organising my Obsidian at the moment). I enjoy video games when I want to switch off, especially story based ones that pull you in, love Dragon Quest and Zelda (I have a Ocarina of Time tattoo). I love exploring new places, wandering through cities, and always trying to practice the languages I speak.

• travelling and discovering new places
• tech, coding, and building little projects
• video games & retro consoles

Music, Movies, and Books

I am into a mix of things from techno and psytrance to Brazilian pop that reminds me of home. I love learning new things, so I often end up reading about historical events or random facts, always open to book recommendations. When it comes to movies, I am easy to please, sci-fi, documentaries, biographies, from The Devil Wears Prada to The Woman King.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Chapada dos Guimarães in Brazil, and the view of the Veu da Noiva waterfall was stunning.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, happy to teach Portuguese

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m happy to share good conversation, a bit of laughter, and stories from my life between Brazil and the UK. I can help with Portuguese, cook something simple, or just be good company. I’m respectful, clean, and always try to give more than I take.
