ABOUT ME

Hola! Im Maya, im twenty years old and I'm studying spanish in Spain. I love meeting new people, going on adventures, exploring, going out, music, nature, traveling, laughing, and having a good time. Im a bit of a goof ball but im up for whatever and whoever

PHILOSOPHY

Some of these really dont make sense and really dont seem profound at all... but there what I live by day to day

If its what you want in this moment do it, you won't regret it. The only thing you will regret is not doing it.

If you think too much about a decision... you just end up with a headache and no answers.. just pick something... either way youll end up with some positive outcome.

Dont waste a second of your time with people that bring you down...life's to short for that nonsense.

Just remember... one day youll be able to laugh at it like its nothing

Love is more than just between a man and a woman. Love is with a dog you pet on a street, love is between a mother and a baby, love is with you and a cool secret place you come across, love is wherever you want it to be as long as your willing to let it be there, as long as your open to it, as long as your willing to show love.

Give someone a hug every day

People just want to be loved... no matter how serious there facial expressions always are, no matter how stiff there business suite is, no matter how angry they seem... deep down... all they really want is to be loved. so give them a hug

one persons bad mood can bring down an entire group of people in a good mood

your dog will always love you... no matter how many times you make a stupid mistake or how many times you come home in a bad mood... he will always want to love you

You meet amazing people, and they're only in your life for a short amount of time... then they go, out they're out of your life forever. and its sad sometimes, but smile because you met them and be happy, remember what you have learned from them. you werent meant to spend your life with the same people the whole time. If you did... you wouldnt meet any of the amazing people from different places that have so much to share as well

expand your mind by traveling

Everyone is great in their own way. Everyone is worth meeting so why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed in Ireland... it was an amazing experience, my host was great. We had quite an interesting night, got into some crazy shinanigans. Its always those nights where the weird stuff happens/ or at times just purely bizarre nights, that you always remember and can look back on and laugh... this sums up my experiences with couch surfing... I want more of them!!!!

Interests

Im a big animal lover, Ive grown up with dogs and worked at animal shelters.. they will always have a big place in my heart. I also love music.. I play the piano, ukulele,and guitar.... meeting new people, seeing new places, traveling, immersion, crackin' open a beer, taking walks, not super athletic but I can keep up (depending on the pace)... enjoying good company
