Travel style
My best friend (nicknamed me), Nomad Maya (current IG handle), in college because I was always traveling and living out of a suitcase. I'm all about exploring the local spots and hidden gems while keeping it artsy, classy and fun! I have a passion for food, art, architecture, culture and have discovered the best tea shops around the world. Whether you want to immerse yourself in art, relax in nature, explore the neighborhood culinary or get pampered with massages and manicures, I'll have you covered. Ask me for the best reccs in Tokyo.
