Hello people, I'm Marv, a genuine soul and appréciateur of witty wordplays who is always l〇〇king for things. Right now: Kind CS people in New York, Nashville and Columbia :-)

I'm open-minded, very curious, playful, sincere, spontaneous, easy to be around and easily excitable, and my head is sometimes to be found somewhere in the clouds... 🌝

Play means giving meaning to life. So I try to take things and myself not too serious and always look for elements of play in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I visited New York in 2012 for a week and tried CS for the first time back then. I absolutely loved the experience and the kind people I've met through CS!
