Hello fellow world explorers!

🌍 Welcome to my Couchsurfing profile! I'm Maya, and I'm a enthusiast of discoveries, adventures, and enriching encounters.

🤓 I'm constantly eager for new experiences, diverse cultures, and engaging conversations. Whether it's over a cup of coffee, on a mountain hike, or during a lively night exploring the city's nooks and crannies, I love fully immersing myself in each moment.

🎶 Music, cuisine, and art are my three great passions. I love discovering new culinary flavors, vibing to world music, and marveling at artistic expression in all its forms.

🏡 When I'm not on the go, you'll likely find me in my cozy haven, surrounded by books, plants, and an eclectic playlist. I appreciate quiet moments just as much as frenetic adventures.

✈️ My goal on Couchsurfing is to forge authentic connections with travelers from around the globe. I firmly believe that the best memories stem from unexpected encounters.

🌈 Let's share stories, laughter, and perhaps even an impromptu adventure or two!

See you on the road soon!

!!! WARNING : don’t dm me if you are here to flirt. Thanks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🌏 Exploring the World, One Connection at a Time

Hey there, fellow wanderers! I'm here on Couchsurfing because I believe that travel is not just about the places you go but the people you meet along the way.

🔍 Seeking Authentic Experiences:
I'm not just looking for a place to crash; I'm here to immerse myself in the local culture, forge connections with like-minded individuals, and create lasting memories. Couchsurfing, for me, is an incredible avenue to experience the world authentically, guided by the wisdom of locals.

🌐 Building Global Connections:
I'm fascinated by the diversity of our world and the stories it holds. Couchsurfing provides a unique opportunity to connect with people from different corners of the globe, to learn from their perspectives, and to share a piece of my own story.

🛋️ Offering and Receiving Hospitality:
The idea of sharing my space and offering hospitality to fellow travelers resonates deeply with me. I've found that the most enriching experiences often happen in the homes of generous hosts, and I'm excited to pay it forward by welcoming others into my own space.

🤝 Embracing Open-Mindedness:
Couchsurfing embodies the spirit of open-mindedness and mutual respect. It's a platform where cultural exchange flourishes, stereotypes are shattered, and friendships are formed. I'm here to contribute to this global community, where differences are celebrated and connections are cherished.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Music That Moves Me:
Music is the soundtrack to my life, and my taste is as diverse as the places I've traveled. From the soulful melodies of indie folk to the energetic beats of world music, I find inspiration in the rhythm of every culture. Currently, you might catch me vibing to artists like Rufus du Sol, Thornhill and Beyoncé !

🍿 Movies That Captivate Me:
I'm a cinephile at heart, drawn to films that transport me to different worlds and stir my emotions. Whether it's the mind-bending narratives of sci-fi, the heartfelt stories of independent cinema, or the epic adventures of fantasy, I appreciate a well-crafted story. Some of my all-time favorites include Interstellar, Twilight (ok don't judge me, I grew up with it lol) and Saltburn.

🎸 Live Performances & Festivals:
Experiencing music live is an unparalleled joy. I love attending concerts and music festivals whenever I can.

Let's swap recommendations! What's on your playlist, watchlist, or reading list? I'm always on the lookout for new discoveries and hidden gems.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🏔️ Snowshoe hiking to Trolltunga (Norway) :
At the heart of this adventure was the challenge of reaching Trolltunga, a breathtaking viewpoint that tested not just my physical endurance but also my mental resilience. The climb was grueling. Yet, with each step, I found strength I never knew I possessed.

Teach, Learn, Share

🌍 Teach:
I believe that each of us carries a unique set of skills and knowledge, and I'm excited to share mine with you. Whether it's cooking a traditional dish from my homeland, teaching you a few phrases in my native language, or sharing insights into a subject I'm passionate about, let's exchange skills and enrich each other's lives.

📚 Learn:
Life is a constant journey of learning, and I'm always eager to absorb new knowledge. If you have expertise in a particular field, whether it's a language, a craft, or a cultural tradition, I'd love to be a student and learn from you. Your experiences and insights are valuable, and I'm here with an open mind to soak up the lessons you have to offer.

🤝 Share:
Sharing goes beyond physical possessions; it's about sharing experiences, stories, and moments. I'm committed to creating a space where sharing is at the forefront.

🌱 Cultural Exchange:
I believe in the power of cultural exchange to bridge gaps and foster understanding. Let's exchange stories about our backgrounds, share customs and traditions, and create a space where our differences are celebrated.

What I Can Share with Hosts

🌍 Cultural Exchange:
One of the things I cherish most about traveling is the opportunity for cultural exchange. I bring with me a genuine curiosity and respect for different traditions, customs, and lifestyles. Whether it's cooking a dish from my home country (mhhh crepes), sharing stories around the dinner table, or participating in local activities, I'm excited to create a cultural exchange that enriches both our experiences.

📸 Photography and Memories:
I'm passionate about capturing the beauty of the places I visit. I'd love to share my photography skills with you and create lasting memories. Whether it's a spontaneous photoshoot, capturing the essence of our time together, or helping you improve your own photography.

📚 Language Exchange:
If you're interested in learning or practicing a new language, I'd be more than happy to help. Whether it's brushing up on English, sharing phrases from my native language, or diving into a language we're both keen to explore.

🌿 Sustainable Practices:
I'm passionate about sustainable living and responsible travel. Together, we can explore eco-friendly practices and share tips on reducing our environmental footprint.
