Hi, I'm Raquel!

I am from a beautiful and friendly country : Portugal: COIMBRA, the Portuguese Students Paradise!
I'm currently living nowhere and everywhere eheh

When I can escape from real life, I Surf, I Dance(or I try to), I travel and I drink a beer when I don't feel destroyed after work/travel!
I used to do theatre and contemporary dance(my best drunk dance) and I was a scout for 10 years so I always help old ladies to carry their bags even when they don't have bags to carry (then I carry the old lady).

Life is awesome and incredibly short to not enjoy it the most (and I already did the "boring" part when I decided to study Robotics xD)!
My lifestyle is based in the "Why not?!" question and sometimes it takes me to really stupid decisions ahah

See you around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel, meet new people and visit the cities like a local! There is always something to "check" in my huge TO DO list!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Happiness is only real when shared"
"Do not disturb, I'm enjoying Life!"

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook the famous "Scrambled eggs by Raquilinni" or the "All in an Omelet by Raquilinni" (now that I learn how to make omelets before turning in scrambled eggs (yuhuu), also known as the Best scrambled eggs/Omelets in the world and won three Superior Taste Award...orrrr my Mom's Award (pretty much the same thing)!

As a good Portuguese you can expect some party if that's your mood!
