Description

My name is Maria but everyone calls me Kayo. I was born i Dem. Rep. Congo, spend my first years in Tanzania before we moved to Sweden. I am an artist and a writer. I write fiction in Swedish and have written three books. As an artist I work with printmaking, painting and drawing.

I want to work with people and I am very passionate about giving back to the world. I want to do workaway so that i can travel, learn, experience and share. I am a happy person, always smiling and i really, really like to solve things.
I am not religious, but I am spiritual.
