Hi,
I'm Marcus from Berlin. I'm 26 years old and just finished my studies and now I'm a vet. So now I'm going to start a trip around the world to see amazing places, meet new people, learn about foreign cultures and work in wildlife, animal protection and nature conservation projects. Although I grew up in the big city of berlin, I love to be in the nature, especially combined with doing some sports like cycling, hiking, climbing and much more. I also like to do windsurfing, diving, wakeboarding or swimming. Since several years now I'm traveling through Europe, whenever I got some free time left. Normally by bike and with a tent. Last year I was backpacking through Thailand for one month and now I want to see more countries out of Europe.
I already hosted a lot of people for example from Swiss, Singapore and Italy and I did some couchsurfing on my own.
I'm a vegetarian, going to be vegan and I love to cook and get new recipes from all over the world. But I don't have a problem with someone eating meat (also you miss an amazing cuisine ^^), so don't be afraid!
I´m a very social person and want to meet some new interesting people on my trip, so maybe you've got a couch for me and like to show me a bit of your lifestyle!?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet some new people and get to know foreign countries and cultures.
I think it's the best way to explore a foreign country.

Interests

I love to do any kind of outdoor and water sports. I like photography, especially of landscape. I like going out with friends and cooking together and of course I love travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I`m not fixed on a special kind of music. I'm quite openminded, but mostly Ì like rock music. There are a lot of movies I like, eg. outdoor movies like Everest, but also fantasy like Lord of the Ring or dramas like Seven Pounds.
I read a lot of historical novels, science fiction, adventure or just some science stuff. ^^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I skydived from a high of 4000m a few weeks ago. It was an unforgettable experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you vegetarian and vegan cooking, the basics of photography and a lot of nature and animal stuff!^^ Of course I can teach you some German as well.
I would like to learn new languages and kite surfing. But I'm also interested in things, I haven't got a clue about so far! I find something interesting nearly about everything.
