I'm Luana, but I love the nickname Lua because it means 'moon' in portuguese and I love astrology, the stars, the universe, unicorns, dragons and stuff (i'm a taurus btw)

I'm an activist, I fight for equal rights and inner peace (ugh, cute)

Once someone said to me: "I want everyone I meet to stop being afraid of life and embracing it, for all its challenges, as a beautiful part of the process. To show people that planning your whole life is not the way we're supposed to live, to allow people to live organically and allow themselves to discover their path stone by stone instead of trying to lay out the cement for the next 60 years." And I think that's pretty much it.

total support for free living, independent travelling, backpacking, hitchhiking, getting out of the system.
the world is ours, let's take it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore planet Earth, discovering new places, different cultures and lifestyles and stuff, and I think couchsurfing is the best way of doing it, because you get the locals perspective.
Besides, i'm broke and just can't accept the fact that money and national barriers should stop us.

Interests

I'm obsessed with poetry, music, movies, books and all forms of art.
I believe that art is the thing that makes all of this worth. And of course, pizza.
