My name is Maria but my friends call me Ary. I just recently quit my job as a Quality Assurance Specialist and decided to venture around the world. To learn new things, meet new people, share and gain knowledge, travel, relax, be happy, and make memories; these are the things that I see myself doing in these coming months.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Living with the locals is perfect for my plan in my upcoming trips. I would like to take my recipe blog to another level, by learning different cuisines as I travel and be inspired by the people who will share their culture with me. Basically, to take my kitchen around the world and meet new people.

兴趣

traveling, adventures, food, cooking, karaoke, outdoor/extreme activities (though I'm not very sporty just courageous), wonder around, appreciate the world.
