Hi there!

I am Mark, 37, M/x, he/him. you can expect me to be a social creature, wanting to chat, playing the guitar or piano, cooking a great meal (together, even more fun), petting any pet in close vincinity en doing random dances. But, introverts, be not affraid. I love my introvert HSP or autistic friends as much as my extroverted friends, I make sure that I am matching or adding to your energy, not sucking you empty. Also, I am an intellectual, i love chess but am rusty atm, i have read a lot a lot of books especially in the realm of critical theory but also fiction, and can hold myself in a conversation about your programming hobby or {...insert random passion/study here...] .

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

because i am a social creature. i have also spent a lot of days and nights in hostel across europe, gran canaria cuba, madagascar, slept in squatted social centers in Geneva and Milano, couchsurfed in Istanbul, lived in a living commune in NL for 5 years, and setting up a initiative against loneliness as we speak with mainly americans.

Also, i have the best couch, its like a 4 seater of 3m length so this couch asks to be slept on.
