Description
Hi! I'm Maya, a recent college graduate from Boston, Massachusetts. I love animals, nature, and spending time outdoors. I studied abroad in Panama during my junior year of college, and absolutely loved it. Since then, I've been wanting to travel again, and I finally have the time to do so! Since graduating college, I've interned as wildlife rehabilitator, a veterinary technician assistant, and a bird bander. I'm excited to continue having adventures!

More details about your skills
Having been a veterinary technician assistant, worked on farms, and done wildlife research, I have experience working with a wide range of animals. I have a degree in biology, and love to teach others about nature and the outdoors. I have lots of experience hiking, camping, and kayaking. I studied abroad in Panama, where I spent a lot of time snorkeling, as well as received my PADI Open Water Diver certification. In addition, I've done lots of babysitting, and worked several summers as a camp counselor at a nature camp. I love art, reading, and learning new skills.

Phil and Bryony were so lovely and welcoming. They cooked AMAZING food for us and took us to beautiful beaches on Crete.

(Also Bryony’s 2 kittens were adorable)

Maya was a brilliant workawayer: an easygoing personality who fitted into the team well with enthusiasm and happy to work hard and try any task at hand. She was supportive, friendly and flexible. We'd recommend and happily receive her again here.
