My name is Maya, I'm 25 years old, living in Jaffa in Israel - and I would love to meet you!
More than anything, I love hearing about the things people are really passionate about, and I would be happy to get to know you and your perspective on the world - and also to just have fun together!
I love walking on the beach, going out to nature, or just wandering and getting lost in the city :)

I appreciate people who are open minded, kind and know to laugh and enjoy what life has to offer, and hope to find here new friends to share new adventures with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I hope to do it as local as possible - to experience the way of living in the particular place, and to get to know the beautiful humans who make the place the way it is. I much rather staying at real homes, eating real food, and finding the small places only the locals know about.

When you come to Tel Aviv, I would be more than happy to host you and show you around the city I grew up in, with all it's beauty and charm, and tell you all the stories behind her :)
