My name is Mark Domingo. I was born in the Philippines and my family moved to Hawai'i when I was about 5 years old. I am currently doing a year-long exchange program in Vilnius, Lithuania. I am in my third year of university and working towards my bachelor's degree in psychology.

During this year-long exchange, I hope to gain a ton of experience through traveling, school, and meeting all kinds of people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know how to surf and I thought couchsurfing would be a cool and new thing for me to do. I believe it can provide a different experience rather than staying at a hotel or hostel.
