Hey Couchsurfers!

I’m Cristiano Rupu, your friendly local from beautiful Venice — living just a short walk from the iconic Piazza San Marco.

I’m energetic, and slightly addicted to meeting new people from around the world. Honestly, if it were possible, I would meet everyone on this planet… but okay, step by step 😄

I run a hostel and apartment business called Venice Rainbow Apartments 🌈 — and before you think too much 🤣🤣… NO, it’s not only for gays or lesbians 🤣🤣
I created Rainbow with zero discrimination. Everyone is welcome. Always. Full stop.(“just to be clear 🤗 Couchsurfing hosting is completely free and separate from my business.”)

I love sharing my city’s real vibe. If you’re new in Venice, I’m happy to show you around and help you feel the true Venetian atmosphere 😊

I love deep and meaningful conversations over a good glass of wine. I like to share experiences, and interested to know others.
And I love parties 🥳. Boat party is the best, with house wine🍷, high music in the Venetian canal with the full moon and millions of stars ✨ , it’s magical.
yes… I even have a boat 🚤 — so if time allows, we might explore Venice from the water (the best way, trust me 😉). I enjoy good vibes and fun moments, but I also respect quiet time and personal space🤗🤗🤗.

Even if I can’t host you, I’d love to meet up in the public area and show you Venice’s hidden gems through the local eyes 👀.
I know Venice very well, so if you need tips, hidden spots, food advice, or survival tricks for this floating maze — just ask me :))))

Come as a stranger, leave with Venetian vibes 😎🌊

I love to travel, I started my YouTube channel Discover With Locals.

This vlog started with a promise to my future self.

Right now, I am young, energetic, and always ready to move. I travel a lot, walk long distances, explore hidden streets, and stay active — not just to see the world, but so I won’t have regrets when I grow older.

Because I know one day, maybe in 50 years, things will be different.

My body may slow down. Long journeys may become difficult. The adventures I enjoy today may no longer be possible. And when that time comes, I want something beautiful to hold onto.

That’s why I film.That’s why I travel.That’s why I share.

Every video on DISCOVER WITH LOCALS is a memory saved for the future — for the days when I might sit peacefully near the beach or surrounded by nature, press play, and relive the life I lived with energy and freedom.

This channel is more than travel.It’s motivation to move while we can.It’s proof that today’s steps become tomorrow’s memories.

If you love real travel, local experiences, and meaningful journeys, join me on this path.
before time tells us to slow down. 🌅🌿

There’s my first video, but definitely not my last — the adventure has just begun. I can’t wait to show you more of Venice, the world, and the experiences that make life unforgettable. Come join me on this journey! 🤗🌍✨”
