Description
Kia Ora I'm Marcus.
Im from New Zealand and right now im back packing around Thailand looking to meet new people and learn new ways of living. I've recently dropped out of University and this is the beginning of my long journey all over the world!
In my spare time I enjoy reading books, trail running, the outdoors and cooking. Doing things that are difficult is to me the most rewarding and meaningful way to spend my time!
Through my Workaway stays in Thailand I hope to get an unfiltered experience of living and working in thailand. I hope to get to know local people, to learn about local foods and cooking and to share New Zealand customs and traditions with my host.Interests
