Description
My name is Maya, I'm a 31 year old taking about a 5 month break from my life in NYC.
I'm using this time to travel and spend more time in nature, and explore a slower more mindful life, filled with connection and creativity.
I also love to experience other cultures in a real day to day way. I really want to experience countries outside of what just the cities have to offer and also get to know the communities I am visiting.
I graduated from University in 2017 with a degree in history and have been working In Social Justice non-profits/NGOs since doing finance and administration. I am passionate about fight for equality and justice!
I love food and culture, and learning about a place that way, and I love to cook for others!I also love seeing house food Is made or where our food comes from.
I am currently seeking to incorporate more nature, connection to land, mindfulness, and deep human connection into my life and hope to do in my travels.
My general interests are cooking, hiking, swimming, spending time in nature, reading fiction, history, art, music, films, yoga, and being with others.
