Heyou I am Marlene but you can call me Mala. I am a photographer and work for artists like musicians or other creatives.
I love to experience places from a true, non touristy eye and get to know the culture in a real way.
I have travelled through south east asia alone and with a friend, I have spent one year in Boston, MA for Aupair and I also enjoy small trips around the world.
Currently I am learning how to juggle, I try to get more into video filming and storytelling in films and love to bike around the city.
I am curious about your way of living and the city you live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
