About
Hi, my name is Maya
Maya Chiwaya
Luxe & Luscious” living is my cozy little space on the internet, where I wear multiple hats as the voice, author, and creator of Luxe and Luscious life. It all kicked off as a chill hobby – exploring random spots during my free uni days, juggling a fashion contributor gig for Narthex Magazine , and playing with Pinterest to recreate styles using my wardrobe gems. Casual baking sessions and trying out new recipes were my favorite ways to beat boredom during my entire university experience and even before that.”
Fast forward, and that little hobby has blossomed into a full-fledged business (!!). I’m super excited to take you on this journey
I come from the southern region of Malawi the old capital Zomba in particular a city that’s nothing short of fascinating. What lights up my life? a generous plate of chips accompanied by barbequed goat meat or sausage. Additionally, I have a fondness for local cuisine, with okra and dried chambo being a favorite, enjoying cool days, and just soaking in some alone time writing or exploring new places and, of course, music.
Nature exhibits? Absolutely!
One of my fondest childhood memories involves visiting places with my mum, she introduced me to picnics, and I eagerly looked forward to visiting my new spots every weekend, ending the day with a picnic while enjoying enchanting sceneries This love for nature led me to pursue a Bachelors of Commerce with a major in Tourism Management
Here, I share not just beautiful scenery from Malawi but also aspire to take you on a culinary journey with fresh, flavorful, and mostly healthy recipes.
If it’s not something I’d eat in real life, it doesn’t make it to the blog. I want you to feel that excitement when you try out these recipes after a day’s work.
Yours truly
And, of course, I’ll be letting you in on some popular dining spots that capture the warm heart of Africa, giving you a taste of epic adventures and delicious food.
Your joy brings me joy, so go ahead – tag Luxe & Luscious living whenever you explore our recommended spots, try a recipe, or embark on an adventure with us on your Instagram photos and stories.
