CURRENT MISSION

To know, love, and appreciate the world for what it is.

ABOUT ME

Hola, I´m Marlon, born and raised in New York City. I live for traveling. I caught the travel bug almost 10 years ago when I went to Europe for the first time. I never looked back! Long-live cosmopolitanism!!

PHILOSOPHY

Having an open mind is the only way to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Will try to accommodate anyone whenever possible, whether just meeting for a coffee or drink, or surfing my couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Crashed with super-cool hosts all around Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Had great experiences with everyone.

Interests

Going out and unwinding with friends after a long week. Love dancing, reading (history/politics/legal thrillers/classics), American football, soccer, keeping myself updated on world events, and hookah! (or shisha, nargile, argila, depending on where you're from), tasting the international cuisine... ;)
