Hellllo! My name's Rafael, I am a solo traveler. I began in Australia and am moving my way around! I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm excited to explore new cultures and meet wonderful people 😁

Well let's see I can talk about biology, science and space all day. My major in University was biology, emphasis on evolution. Love losing myself in conversation about where we came from and listening to other people ideas.

Always up for something new, never really say no to an adventure. Try to be organized but rarely works out 🙃 although I am very tidy, thanks Mom.

Love animals and appreciate all forms of life, except mosquito...😤 Not a fan of them, even though they love me 😭

A good night for me is drinking some 🍷 and having a great conversation by getting to know another person culture and point of view.

I love all forms of music, just not a big fan of modern country. Other then that I'll probably enjoy and appreciate your store of music so bring on the recommendations!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and understand other perspectives.

Interests

Fell in love with bouldering before I started my travels, hope to get back to it when I come back!

As I said before big fan of nature and talking about the human body and how remarkable it is. Anything science like I will have a listening ear towards. Love to have deep conversation with an individual.

Back home I enjoy seeing live music, for me music can set my mood to either give me a jolt of energy of tone me down to relax.

My last 3 months in Australia I mostly camped under the stars and hikedup mountains. Became a big fan. Unfortunately I never appreciated what I had in my own backyard in the states but will definitely change when I get back home.

Recently got into yoga and meditation while I was in Indonesia, specifically Ubud! Never did any of it till then but when I arrived I got yoga fever and became a Yogi 🕉️

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't read to many books, I do enjoy reading scholarly articles and textbook 🤓

Movies though I am a big fan, love the matrix trilogy. I've seen nearly all the Pixar movies. Terminator trilogy, not a big fan of the new ones but watched them anyways.

Comedy are to much but to name a few... Wedding Crashers, Talladega nights, emperors new groove, old school, super bad, Shawn of the dead, mean girls, step Brothers, office space and the list can go on!
