About Me
Hey, I'm Maya and welcome to my corner of the internet, Rantopia. Where I write about my passion for slow living in the crazy madness of this digitalized world.
A little about me is that I am a new-time college student who is planning on going into journalism. I love my friends, and family and learning about the world around me. I have always been curious and I strive to learn something new every day. I am constantly trying to balance my work life, school and personal life. And to find the best way for me to ground myself in this crazy world.
I live in British Columbia and enjoy art, nature, and community. In my free time, I crochet and do pottery. I am a Youth Ambassador for my city and I regularly travel around BC representing the city I love.
Pillars of Rantopia
At Rantopia, there are a few core values within the site. These include core values such as:
- Mindfulness and being truly in the present, whether this is leaving your judgement at the door on certain topics and to be considerate of others positions. Or being mindful to oneself and to give yourself the space to destress, connect and thrive.
- Connection whether it is with nature, community or even oneself. We recognize the importance community has with mental health so here at Rantopia we thrive to build community.
- We value and honor historical practices, we emphasize the true value of learning from the past
My Journey and Mission
I have always had a particular interests in the cause and effects of global warmings, and I am always looking for new ways to be more sustainable with my purchases and lessening my effect on the earth. Additionally, as someone who has diagnosed anxiety, the digital world can be easily overwhelming and overstimulating. All while trying to balance work, life and school.
Currently I enjoy making content on Instagram and Tiktok but I am looking to start making content on Youtube in more long term form content. You can find me spending most of the time on those three apps but also listening to music whether on Spotify or my small vinyl collection.
My mission is to become a worthy advocate for destress, declutter and reorganizing. Now, I can't say that I am perfect at these things because I most certainly am not. What my goal is, is to learn how I can declutter my life and then tell people what I found most successful.
I am going to Okanagan College for Communications, Culture and Journalism Diploma. Once I complete this I will go to BCIT for Broadcast Journalism Diploma.
My ultimate goal is to travel around the world and document my experience. I want to discredit stereotypes we have unconsciously from the western world.
