LUCAS [ or LUKE for friends ]

A Brazilian dude who have been living in Dublin for about 20 months. Decided to come to Europe because I knew that I could expand horizons, improve skills and realise my passions: traveling, learning and meeting people (especially from different cultures).

Easy-going, adaptable, enthusiastic.

Love meeting new people and listening to their life stories. I don't like small talks, I like having deep conversations with people who speak with emotion.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

It's my first time using Couchsurfing.

I think it can be a great opportunity to expand my horizons and exchange experiences. The visions of a local and a tourist is completely different. So, I think that I can learn a lot from my hosts.

I'll be travelling for 9 countries in August and September before arrive in a farm where I'll start a volunteer work. My plans is use Couchsurfing in all these countries.
