Hey! My name is Raphael and I am an adventurer, business/tech fanatic, and personal development enthusiast. Always on the look out for local experiences, outdoor activities, coffee (must have), AMAZING food, and hearing about other people’s stories! Oh, and ask me about my podcast!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, whether in Toronto or in the cities I travel to. In my experience, some of the most intriguing and insightful stories I have heard are from people I just met. It's very easy to get into the rhythm of things and forget about the breadth of cultures, lifestyles and experiences out there.

Music, Movies, and Books

Typically listening to house & techno or 90s hip hop and r&b. Can also catch me playing jazz on a night in.
