Hi, everyone! My name is Maria (or you can call me Masha). I'm a waitress and I love my job - I love to be part of guests experience and create their memories. I believe I'm positive, easy-going and openminded. I like to travel alone so I can easily adjust my plans to a situation. But I also like to travel with friends so we can have a lot of fun together making jokes on each other. I adore mountains and nature. I always send a postcard to myself while traveling and receive it later, when the adventure is completed. I don't smoke, but I like shisha (hookah) and don't mind about the glass of wine or beer. I love sport - cycling, snowboarding, skiing, roller skating, hiking. I like to walk by foot and use public transport in new places and learn about local routine life. You can check more about me on my Facebook page, ask me about it in private message
