Hi, my name is Maya and I am the manager of Backpacker World Travel in Byron Bay and also very lucky to be at Lexis English in Byron three times a week – a great school with lovely people!

“If you want to find me in the school: I am there on Monday, Thursday and Friday from 12-3pm. I started working for Backpacker World Travel in Sydney in August 2011, worked for 8 months in great Sydney, moved to Darwin to work there for 6 months.  I moved in the beginning of October to Byron Bay. In the meantime, I am already 2.5 years in Australia. I am born and raised in the Netherlands, so if you like to have a chat in Dutch, French or German let me know! I can’t really speak French anymore but I still understand what you are talking about. I saw Australia 1.5 times and there is not a lot of places I haven’t seen. I love traveling and if I have the change I will go somewhere new and exciting. I love travel challenges! If I don’t know the answer to your question, I will find it out for you!”
