Description
🌍 Comfortable being Uncomfortable. Always seeking for an adventure and new challange.

Walking barefoot, sitting next to the fireplace, reading, walking at the beach, swimming, surfing, hugging trees, gardening, smelling flowers, traveling, camping 🏕️ building creating with the mother nature, practising - teaching yoga and meditation, spiritual practices, painting, giving creative workshops, dancing these one of the actions that speaks a lot about me.

Hey there! Its Maya, nice to meet you. A little bit about the life lately, so the 3 years I have spent travelling and volunteering around the world, the past 3 months I have spend traveling in India. I have lived in an ashrams, studied Yoga and Ayurveda philosophies, learning traditional massage techniques and marma points. And yes, I can give massages, and teach yoga.

My friends describe me as a very open- minded, easy going, empathetic person. I posses a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, connection to the earth and all its inhabitants.
Originally I am from Lithuania, it has been almost 8 years living little everywhere. Nature is the place where I feel myself best. I believe all the answers are there. Learning from it and using its naturals gifts. I think the closer we are to the nature the less disease and problems we have, that is why I am so in love in Ayurvedic science, the science of life.

What makes me happy is being ACTIVE, giving and sharing, learning new things and meeting like-minded people from different backgrounds.
I have been volunteering since teenage years, I always enjoyed being in the community, but also traveling thought me how to be with my own company. I am always trying to keep balance in my life. For me the balance is the core key in anything in life.

I have spend 2,5 months on Matthias boat It has been one of the best memorable traveling memories. Staying on the boat was the same amazing as challenging and pushing my limits to the fullest. To be honest it was not the easiest experience, I haven’t lived on the boat before and I had to learn many things to first understand how everything works.… read more But I was highly interested and motivated to learn all the steps, I think that’s helped me a lot and gave me the confidence in staying for so long.

There are hundreds of things to remember starting from different types of switches, buttons, batteries, lights to the things like how to close the door properly, when and how to put the mats on the floor, how the water machine works, and all the little things that are very very important.

What Matthias expects from you is to be concentrated and look at the small details all the time, life in the water is very different and a small mistake can turn into a big disaster. As well sometimes you will be staying on the boat just by yourself, so you have to be ready to know what to do in any situation that can come up. So it is very important to catch things pretty fast and if you will show interest and motivation to learn Matthias will appreciate that a lot and will be more than happy to teach and tell you more about it.

He is a very interesting little unusual person, although many people find him to be a difficult personality, he can be very impulsive and irritated when things are going not by the plan. But he has many responsibilities and things to look after. Personally me, I like him he has a lot of practical knowledge and I can sense a lot of wisdom from him. He is very hardworking, and he always stays active and busy around the boat, so he expects you to be around to help him and exchange ideas. Also, he is a little bit old-school and he hates all the smartphone things. But he loves nature, fishing, and boats he helped me a lot in understanding how mother nature works, and how we depend on it. He will ask a lot from you, but he is ready to share everything that he has and know.

The boat life is all about catching different fish, and cooking nice meals, snorkeling, swimming, learning about nature. I think for the people who enjoy staying active, and love seafood and sashimi that could be the dream place.

So for sure, there are things to consider before, I think that the pros out-weight the cons by large amounts, the yacht living is extremely comfortable, the downside is you might not get the opportunity to explore the rest of Thailand, or just from another side. In the time I was there, I explored many beautiful islands and the underwater world, I haven’t felt that I am missing out. Although, when we reached Ko Samui Island, Matthias planned the trip to the mountains, was very very cool!

As I mentioned before it is challenging but if you are keen to learn and you enjoy being in the water this opportunity could be the best!
