Couch picture

I live alone in North Miami Beach :)
My place is close to the Aventura area, and 15 mins from South Beach. (i am not sure about public transportation yet, but my place is close to a major street called Biscayne which i'm sure has tons of buses)

I have one room, so obviously i will sleep in it :)

You can stay in the living room... on the couch or the floor (if you are a floor person)
I have some extra blankets/sheets/pillow, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer..
I am new and know nothing and no one yet..

I work M-F 9:00am-6:00pm. Since i work everyday, i prefer not to go out late.
Weekends are good. but if you're here on a weekday, maybe we can work something out.

I think the max is about 3 nights.. but if you're cool, i'll extend your stay :D

If you wanna explore the city with me... well, let's do it.

I didn't have the opportunity to do something with Maya, like to go to a party, but I'm sure she had an amazing time in Rio, the place that she already loved before knowing it...
We talked by e-mail and phone, and I could notice that she's very nice... Very emotional...
(Oh, and we met in person on the street once, totally casual!) :)
I wish you the best, Maya!

Maya and I go way back. Like past lives back... Maya, a stunning Israely goddes with an wicked sense of humor.... Maya surfed with me in LA for 4 days and when she left i was truly utterly sad that she was leaving. Like a part of me was going to Vegas. I truly honestly genuinly care for her... She is my little sister and i am always watching out for her.... Anyhow, she is another who i have added to my family tree... She is welcome where ever I am because my house is her house....

Maya is superchill....I met her at a gathering in Montreal where we ate the finest Quebec had to offer. Then we met up with her in Las Vegas and had a fine afternoon with Luciano Pavarotti and the finest mullets Nevada had to offer....

eventhough spending 3-4 days in bangkok is enough for most tourists. but maya could find something nice and interesting to do in bangkok everyday for..er like...4 weeks. we went to thai products expo, waiting for the moment of paying respect to the thai national anthem in the weekend market together, etc... i enjoyed her selection of music in ipod (and did copy that...oops) she promised me to wear my fashionable exotic asian shoes to a club next time.

Hookah Girl. I got a phone call at 10 one night from somebody who asked me to pick up maya at the airport---we brought her to a reggae show then chilled at my home. she is a very sweet woman, respectful and kind and fun to hang out with. She also sometimes travels with a sweet hookah which is totally over the top in a great way:) Come back sometime!
