Hello, my name is Marco, I am 28 years old and from Switzerland. I grew up in the countryside of Switzerland and moved to the city 4 years ago but I still love spending my time in nature, walking through a forest or up a mountain.

Travelling is one of my biggest passion, I enjoy being in a new environment with new people. It makes me feel alive like almost no other thing. I have visited many places in the past and would love to share some travel stories. The best thing about traveling are the amazing people you meet, the beautiful places you see and the person you will become because of that.

A healthy lifestyle with good food and exercise is always part of my life no matter where I am at the moment. I am a very curious person and love to try new things, always up for an adventure but also need my quiet time for myself for reading books or reflect on my life.

In the last year, I worked in customer support for a fintech company and this August 2020 I got my Life Coach certification. In my past, I worked with children, I did fundraising for NGOs, had my own health food online shop, helped in the cantonal nature conservation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to experience the culture (food, places, manners etc.) of a country from people who live there because it is the most authentic way you can get.
