About Raquel...
Hello!
My name is Raquel, I'm 20 years old and I study Molecular Biology in Lisbon. I love to travel and I could spend the rest of my days backpacking.
Since I spent half a year abroad studying (I did my Erasmus in Barcelona), I'm completely obsessed with getting to know other people, what different things they do, eat, read... It was one of the best experiences of my life!
I like:
-photography (mainly black and white, Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson, René Groebli...), photojournalism (World War I and II...) and cinema
- sculpture, painting, drawing, graphic diaries, street art, Banksy, Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Van Gogh, Rodin, Gauguin, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, Rothko, Lucian Freud, Dalí...
- music (I play the violin and I love violins!)
- books and poetry (libraries, bookshops, Fernando Pessoa)
- history and archaeology
- nature
- trains (the Trans-Siberian is a dream!!)
- eating and drinking tea <3
I appreciate every postcard that I receive, but I don't like very much cards with animals and advertisement. I would like to know your region, so postcards with places, local dishes/food, traditional clothing are always nice :)
Feel free to draw or write anything you want. Some ideas: a poem; a quote you like; talk about your favourite something; write some words in your native language; talk about yourself... I will read it all!!
If you know how to speak French, Italian or Spanish you can also write in these languages, I will understand it :)
Thank you very much!!!
