My next destination:
Iceland - from May 2024 until Nov 2024 View allDescription
Hello, I'm Maya - traveler, researcher(studied cultural studies), photographer and stylist. I've traveled to different countries and always wanted to explore the lifestyle and culture inside so beach+hotel its not for me. I rare interested in main attractions, I prefer more old history, architecture, nature and culture of local people, their roots and their folklore. I like to work with hands - I finished art-school and made a lot of costumes and props for photo sessions and events.
So I decided to do volunteering in countries that I like most to feel their spirit. Already volunteered in Iceland and Russia and that was great time and new friends.Interests
