Maria Inspires - Maria Inspiruje - travel, be healthy and be happy


Who is Maria?

My name is Maria Durczyk. I write about travels, healthy lifestyle and the search for inner peace. I make photos and illustrate.

I am master of fine arts by profession. A passionate traveler. Vegan by choice. I love people and I love dancing.

I lived in 5 countries (Poland, Romania, Great Britain (Scotland), Ireland and Mexico). I visited 34 countries, I was a reporter in Kenya, I solo traveled in Southeast Asia for 5 months, I also walked Camino del Norte alone in Spain.

The most interesting moments of my life? I got lost in a Malaysian jungle, I had to ran away from a wild elephant in Thailand, I got to know life of people in the Nairobi slums, I meditated with Buddhist monks in Laos, I met children in a floating village in Cambodia.

By reading my blog you will go on a journey not only to distant and closer countries. It will also be a journey in search of health and inner peace.
