20-something trying to make sense of it all. Spontaneity and new opportunities to get me a little out of my comfort zone have resulted in the greatest moments of my life thus far. I look forward to continuing to expand my horizons through every new connection and experience in front of me.

Howdy, I’m Mar (they/them) I’m currently 26 residing in Minneapolis, MN. I work in digital advertising and am currently looking at Masters programs in media and data analytics. Avid art collector, friend to houseplants and animals, event and concert enthusiast, should be doing stand up comedy. Almost positive I rolled a 20 on charisma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and traveling alone makes me anxious, but getting a group together is a lot of coordination and time I’d rather spend exploring.
