CURRENT MISSION See everything! ABOUT ME Hello, I am Marcus from La Crosse, Wisconsin. I graduated in 2013 with my Bachelor of Art in Global Studies and Business. Since then I have worked in a telephone sales job for one year but decided to give that up and give teaching abroad a try. For the past 2 years I have been working as an English teacher in Taiwan, which I really enjoyed. Recently I have left Taiwan for a new job in Daegu, South Korea. I would love to meet up and swap travel stories or learn more about the cities I am visiting. PHILOSOPHY I am a pretty open minded person. I usually would like to take some more time with people before forming an opinion. The same is true about why I travel. Most people are born in a place and spend 99% of their time there and die there. That life does not work for me. I think the world to too small to just stay in your tiny section of it. that is why I am on a mission to go out and explore as much as I can.
Fluent in English
Learning Chinese
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I participate in Couch Surfing meet ups and events. When i can find the time I would love to meet you and show you my beautiful city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I hosted a friend that I met traveling in Taiwan in my home and she had a great time. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I only recently discovered Couch Surfing when I was participating in an exchange program in Taiwan a few years ago. Since then i thought this is a great way to get a more local and authentic travel experience. I hosted a CS friend of mine when she was traveling in the Midwest and showed her around Milwaukee and Chicago. I also use CS to find local people to meet up and share travel and life experiences. Its so awesome to meet new and interesting people.

I love drama, comedy and horror movies. I also enjoy Bollywood movies from time to time. Recently, I have been watching Game of Thrones, Homeland, American Horror Story, The big bang theory and Shark Tank.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The most amazing thing I have done was climbing the Great Wall of China for the 1st time.
My Interests
Hiking, cycling, trying new food, drinking, learning about different cultures and history.
