Raphael will be 16 years old upon arrival. He lives with his mom, stepdad, and his dog. Raphael is an avid climber and climbs regularly. He also likes to run. Raphael's mom runs marathons, so he says running is a great way to spend time with her. He also likes to read and draw and recently started learning to play the guitar.
Raphael shares, "Although my friends describe me as shy when I first meet new people, I usually become more open and friendly once I feel comfortable. I think I'm easy to get along with, and I hope to build strong connections with your family and the people I meet during my time in the United States. I’m really looking forward to learning about your customs, traditions, and everyday life. Living with a local family is the best way to truly understand and appreciate another culture, and I’m excited to experience the American
way of life firsthand."
