Hi, I’m Maria. I was born in Kazakhstan with the traveling bug and haven’t gotten better since. I’m currently in my last year of university and traveling whenever I can. I’ve lived in a couple countries and have lived learning about their cultures and exploring their nooks and crannies. I love the Christmas season, healthy foods, pretty views, dressing up, and being crafty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Besides being a student with limited funds, I’m in the prime spot of my life to be making connections and learning with others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I was on a safari in the desert. After rolling and curving on massive sand hills we arrived at a camp where we ate traditional kebabs and watched a belly dancing performance under the stars.
