He made the announcement through a TikTok video which catapulted him into stardom, gaining him millions of followers and reactions within hours of being released.

Luca shared a video with short clips of his travels and ends it with the now-viral TikTok announcement which has accumulated more than 40 million views.
It would be easy to assume that Luca comes from a wealthy family when keeping in mind the high cost of international travel, especially if one wants to travel to every single country in the world.
However, Luca comes from a modest family with his mother running a daycare centre while his father is a painter. Luca also claims that his family does not own a home, which inspired his nomadic lifestyle.
He funds his travels by performing juggling acts at company events – and he’s no amateur either: he holds five Guinness Book World Records for juggling. By now, thanks to his social media fame, he rarely has to pay for hotels and also sometimes connects with fellow jugglers who offer him accommodation along the way.

Luca is well on his way to achieving his goal with his social media accounts claiming he has already visited 115 out of the 195 countries in the world.
You can follow his journey on social media as he travels the world and also learn a couple of tips on juggling from a Guinness Book World Record holder.
