Hi, I’m Maya!

I’m a friendly and easy-going solo backpacker who loves meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I work as a Senior Care Assistant, and when I’m not working, you’ll probably find me hiking through forests, exploring mountains, or enjoying the coast.

I enjoy simple things – good conversations, nature walks
and sharing travel stories over a cup of tea or coffee. I’m tidy, respectful, and always grateful for kindness.

Travel for me isn’t just about places, but the people I meet along the way. I’m always up for joining hikes, exploring hidden spots, or just relaxing and sharing a laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and sharing travel experiences. For me, the best part of a trip is connecting with locals, swapping stories, and learning about their way of life. Couchsurfing is a great way to make those real connections while travelling. I’m happy to share a laugh, a meal, or even join a little adventure together!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once went on a solo hike in the mountains. It was beautiful and peaceful, and I felt proud to do it on my own.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach cooking — I love sharing recipes and cooking together. I also enjoy learning new things from others and sharing travel stories. For me, it’s all about connecting and growing through these experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share good company, interesting travel stories, and a positive attitude. I’m happy to help around the house, cook a meal, or bring a little taste of my culture. I’m always up for chatting, walking, or exploring together if you have time, but I also respect your space and privacy. Most of all, I’ll bring a smile and genuine gratitude for your kindness.
