Hi I'm Marcus!

I'm from the Chicago area and I attended university at UIC but I’m transferring! I study biochemistry and nutritional sciences, but for now I'm surfing my way to San Fransisco! I'm making my way to San Fransisco to meet old friends for two days until I fly away to Japan. 🦆✈️🇯🇵

I have a year and some change of experience with the vagabond lifestyle and I’m still loving ever second of it! I aspired to be a generic Christopher McCandless without the dying part. Now my current goals are more modest. Firstly, I’d like to eat okonomiyaki until my stomach ruptures and secondly, impress my girlfriends family in doing so.

Areas I’ve hitchhiked through are:

Chicago / Memphis / Little Rock / Dallas / Denver / Phoenix / Los Angeles

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I would like to not be homeless and meet cool people along the way 🙃

兴趣

I love fitness and almost every aspect of medicine that pertains to it. I'm always up for a challenge, debate, or meaningful conversation. F O O D. I love food so much. Existential dread is pretty dope too.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Backpacking/bushwhacking the Alaskan wilderness for two weeks. To top it off I scaled my way up a glacier and flipped upside down on the descent. In that moment I’d like to think of myself as an off brand James Bond. 😎

教，学，和分享

If you want to learn about ethics, logic, and 20th century philosophy I can give you the 20 year old teenage bastardized version.

Please fill my naive brain with practical knowledge.

I have a stock pile of cliff bars atm
