Hi, I’m Raphael from Zürich. I’m open, easy-going, and always curious about new people, places, and stories. I love traveling, exploring different cultures, and going on spontaneous adventures. I also enjoy coming up with ideas and creative projects – I like to think outside the box and try new things.

Why Couchsurfing?
Because the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of the people who live there. Hotels give you a bed, but Couchsurfing gives you memories, stories, and real connections.

As a guest
Respectful, tidy, and flexible. I’m happy to help out, adapt easily, and enjoy shared experiences – whether it’s a walk, a coffee, or just a relaxed chat at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While traveling in Spain, I got lost in a small town and a local shopkeeper noticed me looking confused. They not only gave me directions but also invited me to sit for a coffee and chat about life in their town. It was such a simple gesture, but it became one of the most memorable and genuine moments of my trip.
