Hi there!

I'm Markus, 22 years old, and I love traveling. As you can tell, I have visited quite some places. I only recently joined Couchsurfing, so far I used to stay in Hostels. I will expand my list of visited places by traveling to Whistler, Vancouver and all four islands of Hawaii starting in mid-December.

I'm currently on my bachelor's level exchange at the University of California in San Diego. After my studies in the States, I will return to Switzerland to finish my Banking & Finance studies.

A little bit more about myself, I do a lot of sports, and I love trying out new sports as well. Adventures are always part of my travels too. I am planning to hike the Kalalau Trail on Kauai. In case you don't know this trail you should google it and plan to do it too!

Being a Swiss, I'm usually on time, and I'm considering myself a tidy person :)

If you'd like to know more, feel free to ask me!
Cheers,
Markus

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Apart from meeting new people I also like to take advantage of the best travel guides for a city, locals! If you ask someone living in the area you are visiting next, what you should visit, you will get the best advice from locals.
