ABOUT ME

Hello couchsurfers and surfees,
I'm Maya, I'm 21 years old, I was born in a suburb northeast of Los Angeles. I attend UCLA and am studying abroad in Siena, Italy, a beautiful medieval gem in Tuscany. I study art history and design media arts in Los Angeles. So far have worked internships in MGM, Milan Records, Radical Media. In my free time, I enjoy laughing histerically with friends, watching funny videos online, cooking yummy dishes, playing drums, planning where I'm gonna travel to next...

PHILOSOPHY

embrace the unexpected

4 values: health, love, intelligence, humor
i love traveling because it's one of the most exciting and fun things i've done. i love the freedom and feelings of spontaneity, opening myself up, it's pure fun.
