Hello everybody!

My name is Mario, but my friends call me Marius. I am a 23-year-old guy from Granada, Spain. I am an English/Chinese/Spanish translator and interpreter currently spending a study abroad year in Peking University, Beijing, where I am trying to improve my Chinese.
My passions include travelling, reading, learning languages and also learning about different cultures, although I also like photography, history, art and playing the piano. Above all, what I like the most is to meet new people from all over the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I really believe that staying with locals is the best way to get to know the place you're visiting, as well as being the best way to make new friends from very different cultural backgrounds.

Since I am currently living at the university dorm of Peking University, I do not have any available room for guests. But I'll be more than happy to show you around in the city if you decide to come here!
