I’m Marius, certified mountain guide, and I set up this website to share with you some of the most beautiful places the Carpathians have to offer. I love the mountains and the vibes and energy they charge you with! Practically, I grew up hiking. My first trail was the one winding up to my parents’ chalet, in a mountain hamlet somewhere in the Great Mountain (Muntele Mare) massif of Northern Transylvania. Spending my time outdoors and exploring nature has become part of my day-to-day life.
