I am Markus, from Munich, Germany. I just finished med school and before work life eats me, I'll travel this summer, including Canada, mainland USA, Alaska, Hawaii and Cuba.

I'm quite straight forward (as you would expect from a German I guess...) and always in for a night out or some outdoor activities, especially if they include water or mountains! I am very curious what's happening on the world and always ready for some political/social/historical deep talk.

Also, I know how to prepare a proper dinner ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually use Airbnb on my travels, but since I have been hosting some guys in my flat recently and only made good experiences, I thought I might just give it a try on my own travels! :)
