CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go where no man has gone before

ABOUT ME

Hi, there! My name is Lucas and no, I don't live on the second floor. But I do share my couch with my wife Livia and two fluffy yet ill-tempered cats (Dexter and Brigitte).

PHILOSOPHY

Couch surfers that come to our place should be aware that we are all leftists and that two of us are vegetarians. Actually Livia is a thoreaunian anarchist, Lucas is an unorthodox communist, Dexter is a hardline maoist and Brigitte is an owenite utopian socialist. But we have all kinds of friends, from flaming Trotskyists to proud Neocons. We could say that we like making friends and listening to other people, no matter if they love Ronald Reagan, Lady Gaga or that funny little man from Fantasy Island.

If you're wondering who's not a vegetarian in this family, well... Guess who.

Interests

We all love literature, history, films, music and sports. Well, that's not entirely true, as Dexter, Brigitte and Livia are not half as much interested in sports as Lucas is. He is one desperate São Paulo F.C. fan and considers their stadium his second home. If you like football (the original one), football (the american one), baseball, tennis, formula one, basketball or anything that vaguely resembles a sport, that's one guy to chat with. But if you hate sports, there's no reason to panic. We have tons of books in this apartment and, amazing as it may seem, we've read some of them. So if you like a good conversation, be comfortable to choose any subject you like, ranging from the origin of the State to the traditional neapolitan margherita pizza recipe.
We also love films from all around the world. If it's longer than a Super Bowl ad and shorter than "Gone with the Wind" we'll probably wanna watch it. Livia, by the way, sometimes sounds like some weird talking IMDB machine when it comes to actors, directors and stuff like that.
If you think we are just a bunch of library rats, well... You're kinda right. But even rats like to go out in the sun sometimes, isn't it? That's why we like going to pubs and other low-budget places that sell good beverages and offer not altogether clean yet cosy places to spend some time with our friends.
Last but not least, we must tell you that Dexter and Brigitte adore talking birds, fresh milk and toilet water. As they say, nobody is perfect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lucas: I stroked a baby bear on the Dvortsovaya Ploschad in St. Petersburg. =)
Livia: I shared a bottle of wine with my brother and my cousin and watched the sunset at the beach in Algarve.
