I am Rafael (or just Rafa). But who am i for real? Difficult question to answer, I guess nobody really knows that 😂😂, but I can try to give some of my characteristics...

Here you can see a brazilian guy that loves doing a lot of different things and does it until the extreme hahaha (a bit radical with trainning and studying/researching).

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - The art (because it's more than a sport, it's a lifestyle) which is the love of my life and what I can't stay without for a week. I am Athlete and Professor, but also an eternal student.

Criminology and Criminal Law - I love studying, researching and contributing to make a better world, respecting the human being and rejecting the prejudice and the stigmas imposed by the society. We need to try to understand the social complexies to do the reflections about everything in social area.

Traveller and Adventurer - Travelling without confort and guides (and all that bullshits) is what I consider awesome and a good experience to make me grow and know myself better (self-knowledge is essential).

So... there is a bit of me. Hope we can have good experiencies together 🙂😘
