Description

Hey there! I'm Mariia, Art Therapist & Cozy Soul, digital nomad happy to be here ☀️

I feel it's my time to explore the world's possibilities for volunteering and cultural exchange — to make our world a bit happier, warmer, and more aware. I believe that every person, place, and moment has something special to offer — and I'm here to witness, create, and share.

I'm from Ukraine, and my travel journey began in 2016. I've lived in Portugal and Spain and so far have visited 33 countries 😍
I've made my best friends through Couchsurfing, and learned that connection happens when we're open and present. Check out my CS profile https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/1006253556

🧘‍♀️ My Inner World

I enjoy a calm and mindful lifestyle sometimes practicing Ashtanga yoga, meditation, and breathwork.
I love walking for dozens of kilometres, exploring new places, and noticing the little details. I find something special in every place, every moment, and every person.

The most life-changing experience I've ever had was taking a Vipassana meditation course in September 2025. It transformed my inner world, taught me to observe without judgment, and connected me to some truly beautiful souls. It was a gift I wish everyone could experience 🙏

I write poetry, draw art-therapy pictures, and create home decorations.

With a background as an IT Product Manager and AI startup founder, I love experimenting with tech.
I'm an AI producer & content creator — I can help hosts simplify routines with AI and create meaningful photo/video content 🎥

I used to run a TikTok blog about natural selfcare (it still has 42K followers)

🌍 My Explorer Side

I love to explore inner and out world. I’m an outdoorsy person 🌲 — many kilemeters walking, forest-mountain hiking, camping, and art-festivals are the activities making me happy and feel myself alive.
Nature & animal lover 🐾

🎥 A Little Extra

I dream of creating a film about love and happiness.
So if I show up at your place with a tripod and an iPhone, don't be surprised 😉 I'd love to hear your story — What is love? What's your recipe for happiness? You're welcome to be part of my filming journey.

🏠 What I Bring as a Guest

I'm a cozy maker — spaces feel like home when I'm around. Warmth, care, and calm vibes follow me naturally.

🕯️
I'm tidy, open-minded, and deeply respectful of the spaces I stay in. I’m interested in mindful and creative connections💛

Please feel free to contact me. Looking forward to meeting you — let's make the world a little warmer, together.

Take care,
Mariia
