Hello, I'm Mark. I work in medicine in New York City. I love to travel the world. So far I've been to many places in North/ South America, and in Europe. I have yet to travel to Africa, but soon!

I currently live in New York City. I am a gay male, so if that bothers you, please do not talk with me, as this is who I am. I am a very friendly, kind, shy at first but then outgoing kind of person with a great sense of lust for life, positivity, and humor. Bring on the good vibes, great people, and happiness :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met a good friend on couch surfing years ago and kept in contact. I'm coming back on this site because I hope to travel more so in the up coming years. I love meeting people all across the globe, whether it's for the short term of the trip or staying in contact for years to come! I love to explore cultures, food, music, and have adventures all over the world.

Interests

I am a vegetarian (mostly vegan). I love rock climbing, both indoor and outdoor. Yoga and biking are other hobbies, as well as (obviously traveling) exploring, cooking, attending music/concerts. I love to talk, meet people, and hear their life stories.
