Hiya. My name is Maria.

I'm 24 years old.

I'm from a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'll be living out here until I finish my degree and figure out what I want to do with my life.

I'm a foodie at heart. I also love animals & nature.

I spend my free time exercising (I started p90x in June), surfing the internet, spending time with my family and friends, watching movies, playing video games, taking pictures, doodling, cooking & baking, and reading.

I love going on random adventures - I'm always up for just seeing where the day (or night!) takes me. I love traveling - my favorite destinations involve the beach.

The only craft I spend time on now is beading. I love making bracelets and necklaces. I also like to draw & paint.

I don't watch a lot of TV but when I do I enjoy programs on Food Network. I also like Bones, How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs, Dexter, The Colbert Report, & 30 Rock.

Useful items for around my house or daily living - I'm not really into knick-knacks and things that just take up room. I love simplicity.

I like fruity & foody scents - also, I enjoy a good clean linen or something similar. And I like a relaxing lavender.

I'm not allergic to anything when it comes to food, beverages, or scents.

I'm not that picky when it comes to candy or food, but I DON'T like black licorice anything.

I don't like glitter or really girly stuff.

I don't like country kitsch.

I don't like Kawaii or Hello Kitty, but I do tend to like other cutesy characters.
