About Maria
I was born to travel! As a child I would leave my sweet home Chicago every summer to visit my parent’s homeland Greece, and in the winters, my family and I would go on long, exciting camping trips across the US. It’s no wonder journalism won my heart and now I write out of Athens about what I love most: travel, food and culture. Traveling for me is like a breath of fresh, rejuvenating air. Love? Argentina, Latvia, Italy, Iceland and Canada and the places I will be visiting soon. Passion? Greece. Besides writing about travel, gastronomy, arts and music, finance, politics and social issues for international media over the years, I am also the proud founder of TheGreekVibe.com, which is the ultimate go-to source for all things Greek. When I’m not traveling (rare), I love to explore on foot, uncovering the secrets and stories behind destinations, cultures and music which I love to then share with you.
