My name is Marten Möller and I am 23 years old. I am German but I grew up in the South of Portugal (Algarve). I have just finished my bachelors degree in the Netherlands where I studied Philosophy, Cultural Anthropology, and Sociology. I did lots of travelling and volunteering in my 'gap year' between high-school and my bachelors am now in my second gap year before I do a masters. I love good conversation, reading, nature, travelling, music, volunteering, writing, cooking, sports, etc...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of meeting new people and to stay with locals that know the place from an internal perspective to avoid the overly touristic traps. I also like the fact that it relies on the goodwill of people.
