An inspiring true story and intercultural adventure
Four strangers from three countries – with barely a common language between them – decide to adopt each other as family and take on the world.
Hi, I’m Laura Maya…
I’m a writer, storyteller and culturally curious “digital nomad”.
I’ve spent more than twenty years wandering slowly through 60+ countries, exploring all the ways people and places are different and the same.
My first book, Tell Them My Name tells the inspiring true story of two indigenous Nepalese farmers who travel from their Himalayan farm to Paris on a quest to explore Western culture.
This website is a hub for my ever-changing writing and travel projects. I never really know where I’m going to end up next but I’m happy to have you along for the ride!
Thank you for being here
