CURRENT MISSION

Experience life, Meet and connect with people, Be happy.

ABOUT ME

Greetings! My name is Mark and I just finished a year traveling around South America. Now I work & live in San Francisco.

I am the youngest of three boys and am happiest when I am with my entire family. New life experiences also make me happy, which is a reason I decided to join this Couchsurf community.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile and hold the door -- a good heart is more important than a good brain.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I believe traveling is all about the people you meet. You could be in the best place in the world but if you're not internally happy, that place will not be special. Couchsurfing gives people an authentic experience of a place. It also proves that this world is not as bad as the news tells us and there is still kind, generous people out there.
