Hey! I'm Maia and I'm from Argentina, born and raised in Buenos Aires city. I'm 25 years old and I'm a teacher and gender studies scholar. I teach English and Spanish and coordinate workshops on Gender Theory and Feminism (you can check up what I do in instagram at @banderaverde.talleres). I am still studying, getting a degree in Educational Sciences in the UBA (University of Buenos Aires). I love dancing, reading, and writing. I think traveling is the best way to meet new people and cultures and open our minds to the huge and amazing world we have. I am really looking forward to meeting like-minded folk around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that it is a great way to meet people, share points of view and experiences and get to know the most authentic/local way to experience each place.

Interests

I love dancing. I read a lot and also I love writing, specially poetry. I listen mostly to rock and jazz music, but I also enjoy folklore, classical music and specially listing to live music and going to music festivals. I love getting to know new people, sharing about my culture and learning about other cultures. I like trekking.
I also love cooking, specially vegan and healthy food (though I'm not completly vegan l do not eat nor cook red meat nor chicken or diary).
I love partying and going out to bars/pubs but also to have some chilled nights, enjoy a movie or a home-cooked meal with some wine and good conversations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2019 I spent a year traveling around the world. I got to meet amazing people and incredible places. One of my favorite experiences was being a volunteer in a Primary School in Eastern Ecuador, where I worked as a teacher.

What I Can Share with Hosts
