  • Description

    Hello, I'm Raphael, 33 years old, from France.

    I'm a couchsurfing member since 2008 (www.couchsurfing.com/people/raphis) and this opened my mind and showed me different and alternative visions. Now I'd like to get involved into workaway by sharing my knowledge and learn new ones. Nothing rewards me more than helping people and share pieces of life ! I am always up for new adventures. Instead of going from touristic places to touristic places, I like to enjoy the daily life of the country, meet the people and go with the flow !

    I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome in 2016, but traveling has been an escape that helped me understand the world, myself and the people, overcome fears, and embrace the unknown ! Helped me socialize as well ! It's still quite unknown, and there are many stereotypes surrounding this syndrome. I know it's an unconventional traveler profile, but that's what makes it interesting, ahah!

    I always get involved deeply in anything I get into, I like being active and exceed expectations. Due to some back problem, I can't carry (very) heavy things.

    I've travel arround 50 countries in a alternative way.

    I like to learn new things about history, geopolitics or enconomy. I'm interested in almost all sports (especially football) and, basically, I like to enjoy life, chat with people.
