Hey, I'm Maya!
And welcome to My Daily Journeys, my little corner of the internet.
I'm a curious digital nomad, a writer, and travel blogger. I've been to more than 15 countries in three years, and learned countless lessons I want to share with you.
I'm all about slow nomading - spending at least a month in each city to build authentic routines and deeply understand how locals live.
That's why I felt compelled to create maps and guides built from genuine experiences and connections with incredible people - all the places where I felt like I belonged, not just another tourist.
Take a look at my journey on My 3D Spinning Globe 🌏
What You'll Find Here
🗺️ Maps that help you blend in
like a local
Every spot is somewhere I found by walking around or through a local friend's recommendation.
Not Google lists - the hidden gems only someone who actually lives there would know about.
📅 Day-by-day itineraries for travelers
How to spend a full day in each city, where to grab food throughout the day, and how to save time and money while still having an amazing experience.
🤖 AI guides that'll make you
a trip-planning pro
The exact prompts I use to score cheap flights, map out routes, and discover spots you won't find in any guidebook.
📋 Practical info for digital nomads
Where to find reliable WiFi for work,
visa tips, apartment hunting,
and how to settle into any country like you've been there forever.
What Makes My Maps Different?
🚶♀️Found by exploring on foot
Every place I recommend is somewhere I stumbled upon myself, not from internet research
🗣️ Connected through locals
My best discoveries came from befriending local people who shared their favorite secret spots with me
💝Only genuine recommendations
I only recommend places I truly loved and would definitely go back to
🔄 Real-time updates
Since I'm still nomading, I keep updating the maps when things change or I find new gems
Want Someone Who Actually Lived There
to Plan Your Trip?
My maps are perfect if you love planning on your own.
But if you want someone who truly knows the place—
someone who's lived there for months, not just visited—
to design your entire trip from start to finish?
That's exactly what I do.
Full planning. Day by day.
Built around your pace, your budget, and what matters most to you.
Including a custom digital map with everything you need.
Already started planning and want expert eyes on it?
Or want me to build it all from scratch? Both work perfectly.
