Hi, I’m Maja, 30, based in Italy but born in Croatia. I’m disabled and chronically ill. I use a cane to walk long distances but I don’t need specific accommodation. Although, I hate stairs but I manage when needed.
I’m a disability rights advocate, writer, and a punk-rock music enthusiast.

I work for an insurance company but my dream job is to be a professional writer, someone who earns money with their books and screenplays. And maybe one day start my own punk-rock band, who knows 😂 I’m basically an artist trapped in a corporate desk job.

I love travelling, meeting new people, trying new food, and getting to know new cultures. I’m a curious person and would like to learn everything there is to learn (impossible task but I persist).

I’m open minded and very adaptable. As long as you respect me and my disability (as in, don’t be an ableist asshole. Or an asshole in general) ;) I like a good party with great music and good company. Honest and meaningful conversations make me swoon and a movie by John Cassavetes or Jim Jarmush will make me eternally fall in love.

Yes, I do smoke but only sometimes and never inside a building/house (I don’t even smoke inside my house).

Find me on Instagram :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d like to travel more but without being the average tourist who goes only to tourist traps, so what a better way to avoid that then to be close to someone local who can show me around.
I’d also like to host as soon as I find my own place.

Interests

Plenty hahah. Music, movies, books, theatre, parties but also staying at home and doing something chill like board games. Going around museums and art galleries.
