Hi, I’m Maya!
I’m a student at the University of Wyoming, USA and studied abroad at the University of Birmingham, UK. I was born in Hamburg, Germany and am fluent in German.
I study American studies, art history, and museum studies. I’m also an amateur violist.
I love museums and historic places, playing board games, and meeting interesting people from all over the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to experience the local culture as much as possible when I travel!

Music, Movies, and Books

Classical music, indie, and 60s/70s/80s
I’m a bit of a film geek - my favorite directors include Jim Jarmusch, Sofia Coppola, Wong Kar-Wai, Asghar Farhadi, and Noah Baumbach
I love to read novels as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

See a total solar eclipse!

Teach, Learn, Share
