I am Maria, a 30-something year old hailing from Malta, tucked away in the midst of the Mediterranean. I live with my partner and two cats. My life’s mission is to live with intention, purpose, and joy.

My path has been a series of twists and turns. I have studied Mathematics up to a Masters degree, have studied and worked in London for a few years, and now work in the financial services industry back in Malta. I have also been a dancer (still am!) and a lifeguard. I thoroughly enjoy reading books and love a good podcast. I have been following a plant-based diet for years, and have become a decent cook because of it.

Most probably, you are here because I am also an amateur endurance runner (emphasis on amateur). I landed on ultra-running completely by chance, but the sport has taught me plenty since and I would like to share my experiences and accumulated knowledge here. Perhaps I can encourage you to make some big leaps, whether in running or in life. I also devour any research on digital habits, sleep, nutrition, and generally living a balanced life. You may find that this interest trickles through the blog posts also.

Hope you find something that interests you on here! Please do reach out to share your story, I am always happy to hear from others on different paths.
