Since I started working, I realized that meeting new people is more difficult than before. Also, I have fewer free time to travel compared to when I was a student. My goal is to make new friendships and connections, and travel through my hosts' stories and my discussions with them :-)

I have been a member of Couchsurfing since 2011, but I lost track of my first account unfortunately. So here I am again ! I am also present on Couchers, where I have some references, you can also search me there if you want :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hi ! My name is Raphaël !

My main hobbies are history (especially contemporary history), languages and linguistics (I self studied Mandarin and am currently learning Turkish), travelling (like most people here I guess), going to the gym, cycling, nutrition (unfortunately, I am not a very good cook haha), as well as economics and finance.

Although I am an introvert (INFP), I enjoy meeting new people. I consider myself an polite and friendly person. I am vegetarian, although I sometimes eat meat or fish when I am travelling and do not have any other choice of food.

I am also quite into minimalism.
