My name is Nelson Raphael, 29 years old. I'm a traditional Brazilian man with high energy, positive vibrations, and one smiles on face. I'm Engineer and interested in many things such as, Sports, Smart Humor, Philosophy and Selfknowledge. In my spare time always practice workout on gym, play football or radical ride with my bike for discover new places, and sometimes doing Yoga and Slackline, I'm still learning.

Now, I've desire to realize and doing a travel around the world and learn more about people/travellers native another nations. I'm curious to find out peoples motivation behind living a particular (healthy/spiritual) lifestyle! Hope to meet some inspiring people on my journey.

Dalai Lama:

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
When you lose, don’t lose the lesson. Follow the three Rs:
Respect for self
Respect for others
Responsibility for all your actions.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly;
Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship;
When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it;
Spend some time alone every day;
Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values;
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer;
Live a good, honourable life;
Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time;
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life;
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation;
Don’t bring up the past;
Share your knowledge;
It’s a way to achieve immortality;
Be gentle with the earth;
Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.;
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other;
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing will give me a better idea of whats going on in the world. I believe the world is a beautiful place with beautiful people, traditions, and culture and I want to be able to embrace it all.
I want to learn as much as I can about culture, traditions, art and different crafts and skills! I'm super open minded and very accepting! CS it's a perfect match for my mindset.
