I am Mark, from Germany and I was born in a little town near Dusseldorf in the western part of Germany, where I also grew up. I am a highly motivated student in aerospace technologies and I am very reliable, reasonable, clean and friendly. I have been to many places in the US and Europe already and love travelling around the world to get more insights into different cultures and like to discover more great places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is the best possibility to learn more about a country and its culture than just the superficial things you get to know in the standard tourist programs. I like to talk to people all over the world and want to understand all the different cultures and its specifications by travelling the world.

Interests

I am interested in many activities and sports like flying, soaring, soccer, fitness and more. Furthermore, I love music and especially playing the saxophone. Besides, I like to talk about religion, politics and economy.
