I'm Raquel, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I love being outside, hiking, camping or anything like that.
As a good Carioca that I am, that's how we call people from Rio, I love going to the beach, swimming and surfing. I grew up playing lots of sports. Now I have been playing Capoeira, which is a very famous game/fight in Brazil.
I am passionate about music. I learned how to play guitar and ukulele in high school and I am always around with my ukulele on my back.
I am super interesting about languages. I was a volunteer english teacher for 2 years in Brazil and I really found myself teaching the kids over there.
Currently living in Big Island, Hawaii.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is an amazing way to not be just a random tourist around. Isn't awesome to go visiting some secrets spots on the city that just locals know? You can not know about this places staying in a hotel or checking on google what to do when you are in a new place.
