Hello! My name is Mark. I'm 32, and I live in New York. I am an avid Traveler and have my Global Entry card here in the United States! I am looking to meet new people from all cultures and believe in a "Pay it Forward" mentality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

since I travel a lot, I like to get the true experience of a culture from a local. I would love to make new friends since I'm out and about. I will be going on a five country tour in Asia next February and well I'm sure I'll be using Couchsurfing as a way to make new friends.

Interests

I love to eat! I also love enjoy metropolitan cities as well as the arts. I am a huge theater fan.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music! (Yes this includes Country)

My favorite movie is With Honors but I am sure I have a lot that I could list.

My current favorite book? How to Travel the World on $50 a Day!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled solo to Amsterdam and Barcelona this past February 2015. I went all the way upstairs to the Sagrada Familia alone and was at peace looking at the beautiful city of Barcelona.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some of this history behind some of New York's favorite landmarks. I can also teach tagalog. I can share food with you (as long as you share back!). And I hope to learn from you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since my roommate moved out, I have about a month where I can hosts some visitors. I have an empty bedroom with a blow up air bed and some pillows. There are some lamps and some storage space.

My apartment is a secure apartment with a doorman. You'll be safe I promise.
