Marija
Can host for 7 days
My name is Марија (Mariya), I am 22years old. This year I am getting my bachelor’s degree as a student of a double major program in Political Science and Psychology, but I am pursuing a career as an educator. I am interested in everything! Anything you’d like to talk to me about, I’d like to hear it. I try to be friendly, outgoing and enjoy life with a smile, but sometimes I get overwhelmed and then I love watching stand-up comedy or going to stand-up poetry performances to lift up my mood a bit. I’m a huge book lover, and proud small home library owner. Writing is a huge hobby of mine, I write constantly and I’m hoping to publish some of my works soon. My days are always so full and busy that I got very used to the lifestyle, so I sometimes don’t know how to slow down. Hosting somebody encourages me to stay grounded and open-minded as I meet people from across the Globe, but it also means that I get to relax, do something spontaneous and pay respect to somebody that gets to live in my home for a bit.

Solo travel experience
Highly recommend Lake Ohrid. I did a wine tasting up in the mountains which I highly recommend. I also really enjoyed Skopje which is the capital city, with lovely restaurants and then a lovely old town too.
Posted: September 13, 2023Solo travel experience
I loved North Macedonia. I stayed in Ohrid at old town hostel which was lovely and one of my favourites ever. In Ohrid there’s loads of swimming and a cool church and monasteries to visit. In Skopje I stayed at Get Inn hostel which was also nice and very cheap. There’s loads to do in Skopje, including mother Theresa memorial, the main square, all the bridges, the archeological museum and the fortress which is free, the old bazar and the old train station.
