Hey,

Im Mark I'm from The Netherlands. Traveling is getting my big hobby. Exactly its getting a bit of a way of life style. In 2012 I traveled for a year. Pacific and lots places in Asia. I'm also do a lot of diving. Philippines is one of my favorite places to dive.

The things I like to do on traveling is getting a challenge, be active and learn new people. The people that I met are differs. Lots of backpackers like myself, but also a lot of locals. Culture is for me one challenge. To understand other people in there behave. I've been to China and it was mind-blowing. I've got a big respect for all kind of humans, lets be honest. Im just one of a kind.

About myself in words:
Friendly, respectful, patients, funny, active, very curious, independent, FOOD LOVER, a living traveler.
