Hi,
My name is Rafaela Martinez, I'm Brazilian, I'm 26 years old and I've been a lawyer for 3 years now.
I have Spanish nationality and I´ve always dreamed of living in Spain to achieve fluency in the language.
Earlier this year I decided to take a short break in my career in Brazil, and I took advantage of the fact that a longtime friend of mine came to study in Spain, so I came to Madrid, where we live together.

I think I can say that I'm very outgoing and people usually find me funny. I love to listen to all kinds of music, to dance, to try new things and foods and, above all, I love talking to new people and get to know them!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always wanted to travel around the world and know as many places as possible, and now that I'm living in Madrid I really feel that I can fulfill some of my dreams.

Before I moved to Europe, I had never heard of couchsurfing, and, to be honest, the idea of ​​staying at the house of a complete stranger had never crossed my mind. But after meeting some people who did this and loved the experience i began to see it as a possibility not only to spend less, but to meet new people who live in places that I have always dreamed of meeting and that can share their knowledge and experiences with me.

I really think this can be a much more interesting and remarkable way of getting to know the world!!!
