Hey there, I’m Maya – a tall‑ish city lover in Dubai

At 26 I’ve learned that the best conversations happen over a good espresso or while watching the city lights from a rooftop. I’m 170 cm tall, so I can reach the top shelf without a step‑ladder, and I love the way the desert breeze feels on my long black hair. I’ve got a little belly‑piercing that I added on a whim after a trip to Marrakesh – it’s my tiny reminder that life’s little surprises are worth chasing.

What lights me up

When I’m not wandering through the dunes on the weekend, you’ll find me exploring Dubai’s art galleries, snapping photos of street murals, or trying to perfect my homemade sushi rolls (the rice is a work of art in its own right). I’m a native Russian speaker, which means I still day‑dream in Cyrillic and love swapping favorite poems over tea. I’m an occasional smoker – think a quick cigarette while I read a chapter of a mystery novel in a cosy café. It’s my tiny pause button in a bustling city.

What I’m hoping to find

I’m looking for someone who’s as comfortable strolling through a farmers market as they are curled up on the couch for a binge‑watch night. Someone who enjoys spontaneous weekend getaways, maybe a quick drive to the Hajar Mountains, but also values quiet moments, like sharing a sunrise on the beach. If you’re curious, kind‑hearted, and can appreciate a good laugh over a bowl of shawarma, we’ll probably click.

So, if you’re up for chatting about everything from Russian literature to the best rooftop bar in town, drop me a message. I’m excited to hear what makes you smile and see where a simple ‘hello’ could lead us.
