Hi! I'm Rafael :)

I was born and raised in Rio but moved to Portugal when I was 27 for a job offer. Four years later I decided to open my own small business (software company) and here I am, living the best life I could have in the magical city of Lisbon.

I also work in my free time as dance teacher of Forró and Samba de Gafieira. Dance is in my blood :)

If you are in town, text me. I love meeting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know nice and interesting people out there.

Interests

I'm a dancer in my soul - from Hip Hop to Samba de Gafieira, Folk, Forró or Kizomba.
I can teach you some moves ;)
