Hi there...

My name is Rafael Bennertz (please call me Rafa) and I'm an Assistant Professor teaching Sociology at FURB, the local University. Thus, I spend most of my time working on class preparation, writing and teaching. During my free time I enjoy going out for cycling (MTB), swimming and I just love reading (suggestions of authors from your country/province/city are always welcome). Sure I can give you tips on where to go out for some fun in here and I go out sometimes, but that's not often.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

First of all, I'm here because I'm into learning about different cultural practices and getting to know people from different backgrounds is the easiest way to do it. Also because I love traveling, on budget and if you're here you also do. So why not help each other, right?
