My name is Raphael Rostaizer, Born and raised in Jundiaí (Sao Paulo) / Brazil, I lived in Curitiba (Parana) / Brazil for 17 years as well. I consider myself a very polite person, funny, friendly and always willing to help. I am always trying to be in a good mood and always joking around just to have happy moments with special people.
I'm a professional musician and since 2014 me and my wife Elisa Moraes decided to start a new life around the World. We left everything that we had in our home country (Family, jobs, friends...), packed what we though it's gonna be enough in a backpack and moved to Dublin - Ireland.
We Lived there for exactly one year, got back to Brazil for a few months and now we are living in Leeds - England.
We also created a project online to share ours experiences and travels, which is called "Giro na Pangeia" (gironapangeia.com.br). It's a blog where we share our trips and there is also Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
Until now we already visited 13 Countries and counting.
We hope to make really good friends here in Couchsurfing, live amazing experiences and also share the same opportunities when we have our own space to share with everyone.
