Hi, I’m Maya, 24 years old from Syria. I’m friendly, open-minded, and always excited to meet new people from around the world. I love exploring cultures, sharing stories, and making genuine connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from around the world, exchange cultures, and show visitors the real Syria beyond what the media shows. I love the idea of connecting through kindness and trust, and Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to do that. Whether you're passing through or staying a while, I’d love to help make your experience unforgettable.

Interests

I'm passionate about learning new things—especially when it comes to languages, cultures, and personal growth. I love music (especially pop and alternative), enjoy watching diverse TV series, and I'm really into boxing; it keeps me grounded and disciplined. I also enjoy discovering hidden gems in my country, whether it's a quiet nature spot or a lively café. And yes, I’m always up for a spontaneous adventure or a deep 2 a.m. talk.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything from Billie Eilish to Doja Cat and even some Arabic classics. I love series like Dickinson, Game of Thrones, How I met your mother Arcane, and Orange is the New Black. I enjoy movies with strong characters, deep emotions, or unexpected twists. As for books, I read both fiction and poetry—especially English literature and anything that makes me feel something real.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Boxing has completely transformed my life—physically, mentally, and emotionally. But one amazing thing I’ve seen? Watching the sunset over the ancient ruins of Palmyra. The colors, the silence, and the history all came together in one unforgettable moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Arabic or help you improve your English. I’d love to learn more about your culture, language, and way of life too. We can share travel stories, cook something together, or exchange music and book recommendations. I believe we all have something to learn from each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d be happy to show you around Syria, recommend great local spots, and help you discover the culture from a local perspective. I can also help with translation between Arabic and English if you ever need it—whether it’s for travel, communication, or just learning. I'm always happy to help!
