Hello! My name is Rafaela, but everyone calls me “Rafa.” I’m 25 years old and originally from São Paulo, Brazil. I’m a curious and easygoing person, always open to new experiences and meeting people from different cultures. I love to laugh and keep things light, but I’m also deeply reflective and love meaningful conversations.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me doing yoga, reading anything from fiction to philosophy, or planning my next adventure. Traveling is a big part of who I am—I’ve explored different parts of the world and always look forward to discovering new places and connecting with locals. I’m also passionate about sustainability and enjoy learning ways to live a more eco-friendly life.

Let’s share some stories and create memories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe that travel is more than just visiting places—it’s about connecting with people, learning from different cultures, and sharing experiences. I love the idea of creating genuine connections with locals, getting an insider’s view of a place, and offering the same in return when hosting.

For me, Couchsurfing isn’t just about having a place to stay, but about fostering community, exchanging stories, and building friendships across the globe. I enjoy the authenticity of the platform and how it encourages us to see the world through others’ eyes. It’s a beautiful way to break down barriers and make the world feel a bit smaller and more connected :)
