Hi I'm Maya! I'm a trippy little hippie 🍁🍄🌻🌈 ☮️ born and raised in the cozy San Francisco 🌁 Bay Area. If you haven’t already been here, I hella recommend it! This is definitely a place where you can be yourself ✨ I’m a longtime couch-surfer 🛋 and solo-traveler nomad that has been active in the CS Community. I love surrounding🧘🏽‍♀️ myself with different cultures and expressions. I enjoy spontaneous adventures in both 🌃cities and 🏞 nature. I’m a Mount Holyoke College 🦁alumna. I have a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations 👣🌍 with a concentration in Peace and Security. And a minor in Sociology - I like people! I formerly studied Criminal Justice. Now I work for a nonprofit as a case manager for struggling youth. I used to play women’s 🏒ice hockey. I’m pretty simple: just a happy spazz in Birkenstocks. Food. Pets. 🐶🐾Fashion.

I want to build a tribe of strong, empowered women👯‍♀️ queer🏳️‍🌈 folks and other good humans that are activists, artists, healers, 🤸🏽‍♀️yogis, spiritual 🌀 leaders , scholars, 🎒backpackers, and 🌱herbalists. Let’s connect 🧬

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can bring something delicious to share or treat you to a meal or buy drinks. I’ve also been told I have cool stories. I’m pretty chill

* for safety reasons and bc it has become too common of an issue, please don’t message, send me a friend request, or offer to host me if you don’t have positive references over a decent period of time, practice nudism/naturalism, and shared bed accommodations - I will not respond. Also please have a full profile with details about your home and photos of yourself + home. Do not offer me a massage or ask for one if I stay with you.

And if your only intention with hosting me is to try to hookup with me, it won’t happen so save yourself some time and don’t offer to host me or message me. I have a boyfriend that I absolutely adore.
