Description
Hello!
I'm Maya, now twenty years old. I grew up in southern California, but due to family ties, spent many summers in central Europe; one of my favorite experiences was staying with my uncle the Austrian Alps, where I helped him take care of around 250 sheep. Then, I became sure of my love for mountains, farming, and rural life.
Now I study agriculture in Vienna, and although all the theory is superbly interesting, I'd like to use school holidays to gather more practical experiences, and become familiar with all the diverse corners of the world :)
