Overview
About Me
Hi there, it’s Markus from Berlin!
I love traveling alone, because you get to know the place and the people by yourself and in your own pace. On my travels I made the strongest memories with my couchsurfing hosts, our activities, talks and encounters.
Into politics, journalism, coffee, documentaries, human rights activism, writing, filmmaking, swimming and non-fiction books.
If you want to stay at my place, don’t hesitate to ask! I have a spare couch in the living room that is quite comfy. I can make you a coffee in the morning and recommend a lot of places to visit in Berlin, like sights, cinemas, bakeries and cafes, book stores, museums, lakes etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef in Australia
- Hitchhiking with fellow travellers through Morocco on a tractor
- I locked myself out in Sydney at the beginning of my exchange semester. Almost cried but then found neighbours who helped me climb into the open window back in
- Croissant baking class in Paris, it was so tasty!
- missed my train in India, got help from a local family who was also taking the next train, offering me a spare bed and talking with me all night
What I Can Share with Hosts
You can stay on the couch in our living room, it’s quite comfortable. We have linen and stuff. Also, you can use the washing machine and dryer on the balcony if needed. I can give you tips for sightseeing and if you’re an early riser like me you can have breakfast with me.
House rules:
- please be clean
- please don’t shower forever, hot water is precious
- please feel at home and enjoy your time in Berlin :)
