Who is this Marco Roams Character?

Marco Roams is a YouTuber from Sydney, Australia. His real name is Marcus Romer, hence the play on words for “Marco Roams.” He is a full time traveler and an everyday Aussie who doesn’t take himself too seriously. However, let’s let Marco take over and tell us a bit of his story..

I’ve always been someone who likes to see the humorous side of life and take the piss out of myself…
Yo, I’m Marco, just a normal guy from Sydney, Australia, but a normal guy who was sick of the ‘normal stuff.’ In 2019, after running a business for seven years, I had lost the passion for it, so I started planning my around-the-world trip. I didn’t know where I wanted to go or what exactly I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to get out of here.

2020 hit, and it was the big year I had been planning for … however, COVID hit! Being in Sydney, we had some of the strictest lockdowns in the world. I used to question whether I had lived my life to the fullest or really been doing what I wanted. The answer was no.

After seeing a couple of travelers on YouTube living their lives and being in countries that were not as strict while I was stuck in my bedroom, I decided to put everything into planning this trip, and I decided I was going to document the entire journey and post it on YouTube.

After living my entire life in the Sydney region and only knowing what I knew from the mainstream media and whatever popped up online, I was painted a picture of this world that it is meant to be a ‘dark and scary place’ and that Australia is the best and safest country in the world. I decided I wanted to challenge these views and experience everything for myself.

I am always someone who’s been a free spirit and a bit of a lone wolf, doing my own things as opposed to being in a group setting, and that’s why I wanted to do this journey solo.

I’ve always been someone who likes to see the humorous side of life and take the piss out of myself. So if you’ve made it this far, go jump on my YouTube and check out some of my videos around the world, where I get into some weird and awkward situations.”
