Hi! We’re Maite & Pontus, two very different people who found each other while living in Sweden. We started Discovering Gaia as a passion project, a way to preserve and share the fun things we learn from our adventures. This blog was born in January 2023 from our love for exploring the world, meeting new people, and uncovering interesting stories. We’re on a mission to showcase our best experiences and help others discover this beautiful planet, Gaia.
Who’s Maite?
Let’s be honest… My real love was for cats, but since I am extremely allergic, I had to find something else! I would consider myself a hard-working Spanish girl who is curious by nature. I guess that’s why I became a researcher… And in my free time? Well, dancing and photography are in my top three together with traveling. Neither budget nor languages ever stop me from discovering the world!
Who’s Pontus?
The Swedish guy that roasts like a lobster in the sun, that’s me! I would describe myself as an extrovert with a deep passion for marketing and SEO. Since I was young traveling has been a big part of my life, so why stop now? I enjoy meeting people and learning about their culture.
