Hello!!! I'm Raquel =]

I’m from Brazil. I used to live there until two years ago, now I live in the moment. I’m an open minded person, very capable of adapting to different situations and contexts. I am always happiest when I am having new experiences, learning to make things myself and meeting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is all about moments and encounters. "Those who pass by us, do not go alone, and do not leave us alone; they leave a bit of themselves, and take a little of us. ", and it's those bits that add us that make us who we are. And the best thing is that we're not ready, there will always be new meetings.

I think Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to have new meetings.

Interests

I am passionate about travel, hiking, nature and animals, especially with dogs and horses. I'm very dynamic: I enjoy outdoor activities, music, movies, romance books, ancient history, handcraft, family environments, cooking, having long conversations and of course good food and drink!
