Hi, Hive!
My name is Raphael Batista, I'm 30 years old, I like weight training, traveling, riding a motorcycle and cooking. I was introduced to Hive by my friend and co-worker 
This photo was taken in the Chapada da Diamantina National Park in the State of Bahia - BR, a very beautiful and pleasant place, a reasonably hot waterfall, This is one of my favorites spots. The name of this waterfall is "Cachoeira do Fraga". The People of Bahia are well known for their cultures, customs, spicy and very tasty cuisine. the Park has dozens of waterfalls, one more beautiful than the other, unfortunately on this trip I only had the opportunity to visit one of them, this waterfall was less than 3 miles away from the Hotel where I was staying. I miss that place already !
This photo was taken at Praia das Laranjeiras in Balneário Camboriú, State of Santa Catarina - BR, I really like beaches and the coast of Santa Catarina is very privileged for being bathed by warm, greenish waters, the beaches are always very clean and well cared for the people of Santa Catarina, which are well known for their hospitality, education and cuisine of European origin, to be honest, Santa Catarina is the state I love most in Brazil!
Since I started talking about great loves, this photo was taken on another trip I took to Santa Catarina, this photo was also taken in Balneário Camboriú, in 2021 I made 6 visits to the state of Santa Catarina (you can already imagine the how much I love this place 😂), This time it was a motorcycle trip I took with a group of friends, we like to hit the road very often, enjoy the sights and the nice weather.
Still talking about my passions, cycling is one of them, every weekend I ride with friends or my brother who is a great partner on these tours, my favorite modality is Montain bike, light trails and sometimes something that has more adrenaline 😂. So far my best pedaling record has been a 77-km course, I'm still picking up the pace and gaining experience on the pedal, since my childhood this was a great passion.
On my last trail, I visited the city of São Roque, located in the state of São Paulo - BR, this city is known for the "wine route", a very interesting tourist spot in a city that has European culture and produces great wines! this is a course of 60 Miles mostly dirt roads as shown in the photo, as I mentioned in the other photo, I like Adrenaline 😂, on this route there is a small challenge that I'm training to be able to fulfill, this challenge is to climb a pedaling slope, but don't be fooled, it's a very steep and earthy slope, because it's covered by trees, it's almost always wet, very difficult to get, I'll soon make a video and post it here to show you.
I saved this photo for last because it is something that I value a lot in my life, which is my family, in this photo two of my 3 brothers are with me, on this trip we were meeting Beto Carrero, which is in the city of Penha, State from Santa Catarina - BR, I consider myself a very family person and I like to include everyone in everything I do, I believe brothers are our best source of connection with the past and possibly the only ones who will really help us in the future, speaking a little about the Beto Carrero park, it's a really cool park, with several attractions, it's considered the biggest and best park in all of Latin America! My sister was afraid to ride on almost all the rides that are more exciting 😅, this day was really very special, as it was an unplanned trip, I usually say that the best trips are the ones we decided to do at that moment without any planning, we always reap great stories of moments like these, the most amazing thing is that everything worked out, without even planning to book a hotel in advance, we drove for 500 miles after a tiring day of work and managed to enjoy the whole weekend in this amazing place.
I Hope i can add a lot into hive, and i will do my best in order to help this community keep growing, thanks in advance everyone who stopped by, and have a great week everyone !
Cheers !
