Who I Am

Why, hello!

Thanks for stopping by.

My name is Maria, and I am simply an amazing human/genius.

No, I’m kidding—but if you get the reference, you’re awesome.

Hi there!

My name is Maria and I am a Lebanese young adult currently living in France.

I am a little bit of many things, and I consider myself infinitely blessed to be given the abilities to do what I do. I am a child of God, a soon-to-be scientist, an art enthusiast, an amateur photographer, a wordpress blogger (surprising, I know), and a former student journalist.

My interests go in a myriad of directions, as I find joy in drawing and sketching, making foods I like, reading, singing at the top of my lungs, discovering new music, engaging in insightful, vulnerable, and thought-provoking conversations, learning words that are generally recognized as challenging (for example: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. and yes, I did type the whole thing), researching a wide variety of topics, exercising, learning more about other cultures and differences between dialects of a same language, and watching commentary videos on youtube.

I also love people and believe that humans are innately altruistic and kind. It’s important for me to engage in meaningful exchanges and to let people know that they are seen.

So, friend, I hope that you find some warmth as you read through Found A New Home. And if, for whatever reason, you’d like to reach out to me, you can email me: mariahage99@gmail.com.

Take good care x

P.S.: Jesus, I’ve edited this page so many times already. But that’s it—that’s the one.
