I am Mark, already lived a fifth century and planning to make it up to a whole one.
I grew up in Germany, but loved traveling ever since. I guess it's my parents fault.
2013 I moved to Ohio to attend a high school exchange program, and I came back to the US, to live in Redding, Ca.

I have a weakness for beer, wine and a good pipe, or every once a while a cigar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hate to travel as a tourist, because you are just going to see the stuff they want you to see. Furthermore I grew up in a city that was just beautiful, if you knew the right spots, so I love to encounter cities with locals, or at least with some helpful advices what to do in the city.

Interests

I love to ride my motor cycle, food, and a good pipe.
I guess I just stepped into my inheritance, because my grandfather owned a cigar factory.
Books fascinate me and I am quite successful in trading stocks.
