Hi there,

My name is Markos, I am a 26 year old architecture graduate from Brisbane Australia - moving to Barcelona this September to study International Development and Sustainable Emergency Architecture at UIC.

I am on here because I am intersted in meeting new and culturally diverse people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been interested in couch surfing for a long time - sincegoing to Europe the first time back in 2014, but the right opportunities never came up.

Since now moving to Barcelona on my own money - I am having to start being more tighter with my spending habits, and I am also wanting to meet new and interesting people in the city because I know very little Spanish, and even fewer people.

Interests

I am interested in learning music at the moment, primarily guitar or drumming.
I am passionate about football and photography mostly.

Big into film photography lately, and would love to pursue it further.
I am quite interested in humanitarian architecture and would love to have an opportunity where I could do some work abroad in different places around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Considering I am a person born in africa and moved to Australia at a young age.
In 2014 I somehow got to be a Student Ambassador for the European Union at the World Expo 2015 - enabling me to travel around europe and meet a lot of cool people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach someone with a bit of english, better english?
Can teach some photography skills and I am quite interested in running and exercise.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I am a very good conversational person, and I can offer some good company and if you ever travel to Australia, I can share the best places to visit and possibly host when I move back!
