About Me

I bought a huge house in El Salvador next to El Tunco on the beach of Conchalio, right in front of the wave Punta Roca.

So I have 5 rooms and 2 bathrooms and I am more than happy to host :-)

ABOUT ME

Insta: markus_maona

After I was done with school I went to Uni in Vienna and later transferred to the HPU in Hawaii. Even though I was a good boy and finished Uni I knew for sure that there would be no money on this earth which could make me stay in an office.
Since then I decided to travel. After traveling through the States I went to South East Asia for my first time. After that I went to Cairns in Australia I was working there as a Dive Instructor before I went on my second South East Asia trip to do the countries I didn`t manage to do on my first trip. After this trip I got stuck on Koh Tao, a very small tropical Island and was working there as a diving instructor.
The last years i spend in India, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua, US, Brazil....:-)

PHILOSOPHY

Life Is Uncertain - Eat Dessert First!

Bad decisions, make good stories ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am in Austria you are more than welcome to crash at my place.
We have mountains, lakes and so much beautiful stuff to see... ;-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On all my trips i mostly stayed in hostels or guesthouses. But because I love all kind of sport activities like cycling, volleyball, surfing or kitesurfing or to go out to dance Salsa or Bachata, so I thought couchsurfing will be great to spend some time with other adventurous people who want to get out of the house and do something together.

Interests

I am crazy about traveling and in addition I love to do all kind of sport, like kitesurfing, diving, surfing, windsurfing, volleyball, cycling, trekking etc. In addition to that I love the mountains, to go skiing or snowboarding, to go hiking or paragliding.
In the evening it`s just great to sit down with a guitar, friends and beer to make music together, sing and chill out.

I definitely don`t mind a good party and a long crazy night out as long as that there are also some nights to just chill with friends, to cook together and to have a nice dinner together.
I really like to go out to dance Salsa, Bachata, Rueda, Kizomba or Zouk....

Music, Movies, and Books

If we would chill in the evening, Xavier Rudd, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, James Blunt or Sublime would be played on the Ipod, or we just take a guitar and play and sing ourselves :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Through out my travels I have experienced and seen so much great stuff, I did so many amazing things, spend so much time with great people, got disappointed, got surprised, saw so much sad stuff, things which made me cry, things which made my love....
So don`t even make me started now, I tell you everything if we got more time...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you kitesurfing I am always having all my equipment with me. We could cook Austrian food together even though I can`t promise you in advanced how it will taste in the end but I think I manage to make u the greatest Vienna Schnitzel u ever had.
I love to dance, so I can learn you Salsa or Bachata, Zouk or Kizomba.
I can teach you bit of German, playing the guitar or we simply just go for a scuba dive ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kitesurfing, Windsurfing and Surfing lessons... Cooking Austrian dishes and play and sing on the guitar together. Go on crazy small roadtrips in my black Vw T1 Kombi you can see on the pictures 😉
