I have a little bit of a complex story.

I was born in Germany, went to Kindergarten for a little bit while there, then lived in Guatemala until the age of 16.

After the age of 16, I moved to the US and have been living here ever since.

I am going to be graduating very soon, and would love to meet new people, that can help me have a more positive mindset, and inspire me to become a more authentic person.

I look forward to getting to know you! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m finishing my university studies very soon. I’m entering a very relevant transitional state in my life. 🎓🏫

I want to meet mew people that can help me better explore my interests and my identity. I think that it is fair to say that everyone in their 20s experiences an identity crisis at some point haha.

I’m a very open book when it comes to things like this.

I recently have started to come out of the closet, which sometimes is more challenging than you’d expect. To an extent, it could even be a risk for me to share this here, but I’m willing to take that risk.

I’m sure that the best way in getting to know myself, is by getting to know other people. :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to mainly like oldies, edm, and alternative rock.

However, the transitioning state that I’m in, makes me want to discover other types of music and songs I’ve never heard before. 🎶

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don’t tell people this to people I meet in person that often, but…

About 2 years ago, I started making videos on TikTok. Somehow, I have been able to build a following of 64K+ followers. 😅

Teach, Learn, Share

I can gladly teach you some Spanish. :-) 🇪🇸

Despite English and German being also languages that I speak. To this day, I’m still able to speak Spanish the best.

On that note, we can also speak German, or English. ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I find that I tend to be a very open book when it comes to interacting with people from different countries.

There are a bunch of stories that I can share from my experiences while I lived in Guatemala, my experiences while living here in the US, and my experiences visiting Germany.

All the best,

Marcel 🤍
