Hi! I’m Raphael!
I'm a multifaceted Brazilian artist from São Paulo - I'm a DJ, drag performer, and makeup artist. Travel is a big part of my life, and I love discovering new destinations, immersing myself in local cultures, and building connections with like-minded individuals and communities. And is always nice to make new queers friends!

I'm immersed in the nightlife scene, so I'm always open to discovering new clubs and artists wherever I am. I'm a bit of a vampire, but I'm also a sun lover - I enjoy daytime activities just as much, haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in a horizontal relationship in society and in exchanges that go beyond profit. I'm new to the platform, but I'm the kind of person who loves hosting friends and friends of friends at home frequently. Also learned a lot with internacional guests, especially queer people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hitchhiked through several countries when I was 17, performing as a street artist in various Latin American countries, and that taught me a lot about life.

I've shared the stage with great RuPaul drags like Violet Chachki and Sasha Velour.

I've even lent my makeup to Bjork's makeup artist in Brazil when her luggage got lost, so yeah, my lipsticks touched Bjork's lips!

I've played at important clubs and festivals in 8 countries on my first Euro Tour in 2024... 17-year-old Raphael would be proud.

I'm crafty, and I was always a 10 student in Art class. But math? Not so much 😬
