CURRENT MISSION

To understand how the world lives.

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Maria. After graduating I decided to travel in Eastern countries, as I'm interested in Eastern religions, cultures and meditation practices. I want to get to know natives and learn the ways of their minds. I want to go in for creativity and eco-awareness.
I love nature more than cities, but find cities also interesting as they embody the spirit of human progress and culture.
I enjoy spending time with my friends, reading, writing, composing and listening to music.
