Maria's personal blog for nature, dogs and yoga

Outside of design, there are three things that comprise my personal life: being out in nature and hiking, treating my Italian Greyhounds like divine little beings, and doing plenty of yoga and ayurveda.

Outside of that, I like to find a little extra time for painting, playing piano and learning new languages. And I love to write, so I thought I would share some fun experiences, in case you share any of the same passions.
