About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have an animal sanctuary in Bahia, Brazil!

ABOUT ME

My name is Luca, I'm a 39 years old Brazilian trans man.
I am from Goiânia, a beautiful capital in the central part of Brazil and I’ve been living in Orlando for the past couple of years. I am a pet dad of 4 babies (all adopted or rescued 🐶🐱)
.
I worked on a ship, I got lost in India for a month, I lived in Spain. I wanna do the Camino de Santiago next year!
I truly enjoy experiencing different cultures, places, life styles and ideas.
.

I am going trough a divorce right now and I am also shifting my career towards becoming a digital nomad.
I am looking forward to meet people and places before I head back to Brazil early December for the holidays.
Just bought a little green car and I named it Abacatinho (little avocado in English 😂😂😂)
I can do the drive depending on where I go. I am open!
.

I've been a part of CS community for many years now and I hope to keep having wonderful experiences and making new friends here! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Don´t do to others what you don´t want people to do to yourself."

"Hate is easy, love takes courage."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was a host on CS when I was in Brazil. I would love to start hosting people again, this time in Florida, when I am able to. Meantime, I would like to meet new people in the community and keep traveling as much as possible!
I also try to spread the CS philosophy as much as I can. Everyone should know about it, it is just amazing!
