CURRENT MISSION

Finishing school and starting an acting career in the city that never sleeps!

ABOUT ME

We are Maya and Charlotte - two best friends who met their freshman year at New York University. We both love to travel and ans have returned home after spending the first few months of the summer exploring all of Europe. We both love to meet new people, eat new foods and discover new places.

Now that we're back home, we're looking forward to hosting people from all over the world in our brand new apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 20minutes from Manhattan on the subway. Our area is very hip and young: a great way to explore the city without dealing with tourists and crazy $6 coffees!

PHILOSOPHY
