I'm Marius, from Bucharest, Romania, yeah the vampire land. When I'm not immersed in the digital world, I'm out and about exploring the wonders of this planet.

Interests:
I'm passionate about hiking, losing myself in the virtual realms of video games, cheering on my favorite football teams, and, of course, traveling to new places. Nothing beats the joy of meeting diverse and interesting people along the way.

Bucharest Tips:
If you find yourself in Bucharest, I've got the inside scoop on the best local spots. Whether you're into hidden gems, delicious eats, some history or cool hangout spots, I've got your back. And if time allows, I might even play tour guide and show you around the city.

Accommodation Note:
While my space isn't the biggest, I can't accommodate just yet. However, I'm always up for a coffee, a chat, and sharing travel stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love immersing myself in local cultures when I travel. There's nothing like living a day as a true local, exploring hidden gems and experiencing the authentic rhythm of a place.

I'm passionate about sharing stories, especially about the rich history of Bucharest and Romania. If you're curious about the past, I've got tales to weave and insights to share.

Interests

Travel: My passion for exploration led me to cover over 200 kilometers in the mountains in 2023. Check out my adventures on https://www.komoot.com/user/2488434054328 for a glimpse into my hiking escapades.

Sports Enthusiast: Whether it's the hard-hitting action of the NFL, the strategic plays in MLB, or the excitement of the English Premier League (EPL), I'm always up for catching a game and discussing the latest highlights.

Gaming: I'm a proud PlayStation5 enthusiast, clocking in over 500 hours of gaming. From immersive storylines to thrilling multiplayer experiences, gaming is my go-to escape.

History Buff: The history of the world, the intricate tales of Romania, and the diverse cultures and religions fascinate me. I love delving into the past, unraveling stories that shape our present.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I'm a sucker for epic adventures, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (LOTR), the raw intensity of Logan, and the mind-bending Spider-Man: No Way Home are top on my list.

Music: Rock is my heartbeat, and I've been lucky enough to experience the magic of live performances by Guns N' Roses (GNR) and KISS. I appreciate a blend of genres, including pop tunes that keep the vibes upbeat. When it comes to festival raving, the beats of Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, and DJ Snake never fail to elevate the experience.

TV Shows: When it comes to TV, I've binged on the hilarious antics of How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM), the mockumentary charm of The Office, the heartwarming chaos of Modern Family, and the irreverent humor of South Park—watched all seasons four times over!

Books: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind has left a lasting impression on me. I'm always on the lookout for thought-provoking reads that unravel the complexities of our shared human story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stayed for a month in Saudi Arabia. Now I know to prepare authentic arabic(saudi) coffee.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I'm passionate about sharing the intricacies of Romanian language, offering insights into traditions, and unraveling hidden stories from Romanian history that even some locals might not be familiar with. Let's dive into the rich tapestry of my homeland together.

Learn: I firmly believe in "Si fueris Romae, Romano vivito more; si fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi" ("When in Rome, live as the Romans do; when elsewhere, live as they live there"). I'm eager to absorb the language, culture, traditions, and culinary delights of the places I visit, embracing the essence of each locale.

Share: If I can bring them with me, I love sharing cold snacks and drinks that encapsulate the unique flavors of my homeland. Whether it's a traditional Romanian dish or a refreshing drink, let's savor the taste of Romania together, no matter where we are.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm excited to share the wonders of Romania, offering insights into its language, traditions, and hidden stories from history. Additionally, if circumstances allow, I'd love to bring a taste of Romania to your home with some authentic cold snacks or drinks.
