Olaaaaa

I'm Lucas, from a boring town in southern Brazil, living in Porto and doing silly stuff on my computer and calling it a concept. I've been here since the start of 2017, when I was 17 and started going around after cool museums and picking up pieces of what I was supposed to be, and haven’t stopped since!! I collect plants, toys, photos, musical lyrics and a ridiculous amount of Disney theme park facts (I briefly work at one). I have a flat in Porto, filled with random junk, used books and plants bought at Lidl. If you ever happen to host me, you have my eternal gratitude and a welcoming place in beautiful Porto!!

One of my favourite things in the universe are flea markets and second hand stores, so if you know any nice spots in your city please let me know!!!!

Currently into reading lots (trying to get more into fiction), instant photography, social studies, experimenting with animation, community building in Porto and thinking of moving to Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because this thing is incredibly awesome!!! having the chance to go around the world and meet the real deal of it, hear stories and share mine, pick up new songs and learn new recipes, and save the money from a hotel to spend on stupid shit from flea markets!!!!

I like asking lots of questions.
