I started to travel when I was very young. At 5-years-old I made my first transatlantic plane trip alone and since then I’m addicted. It was one of the reasons why I’ve graduated in Tourism, the thirst for knowledge, so many stories to tell and to be told, so much diversity of cultures and civilisations, so many exchanges of wisdom and flavours. I’m very observant and curious person, listener, dedicated, like to experiment and learn new things. Genuinely love animals and worked as dog sitter for some months when I was travelling. In everything I do I always try to do my best and to give the best of myself to others.

Right now I'm travelling with my sister, you can check her profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/rafaelanogueira

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to know people and immerse in each way of living. I am respectful, enjoy helping in everything I can and keep the place clean when I stay in someone's home.

Interests

I like to do Yôga, go trekking, everything related to nature and outdoor, bicycling and swim (I could spend all day in the water). Travel photography is one of my favourite hobbies, check some photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/128279790@N02/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think everything we do and every experience is special, that's how we became who we are. I can share with you some moments when we're together.
