Where I Can Help

📍Oxford & the Oxfordshire Countryside

I live in the U.K. and spend much of my time outdoors on local trails. One of my proudest accomplishments is posting the first female time on the 55-mile Oxford Green Belt Way—a peaceful, rolling route perfect for reflection, reconnection, or a gentle challenge close to London.

📍Spain: Aragon, Catalonia & the Pyrenees

My family is from Spain, and I’ve returned again and again—especially to the Pyrenees, which made a deep impression on me as a child. I can offer cultural context and travel guidance, especially for Spanish-speaking travelers seeking a deeper experience in nature.

📍New England, USA

I grew up in Massachusetts and know how special the natural landscape of New England can be. Whether you’re looking to hike in Vermont, road trip the coast, or find quiet forest trails, I can help.

📍U.S. ↔ Europe Transitions

As someone who moved from the U.S. to the U.K. in 2015 and frequently travels between the two, I love helping others plan cross-continental trips—especially solo travelers or Spanish speakers navigating a new region.

Meet Maria

Hi, I’m Maria! I believe the outdoors is one of the rare spaces where you can find both solitude and connection. I moved from the U.S. to the U.K. nearly a decade ago and have since spent most of my travel time adventuring solo—learning how to balance comfort with growth, and challenge with restoration.

As a coach, I bring deep listening to every conversation. If we talk, my goal is for you to leave feeling more empowered and grounded in what matters to you. Whether you’re planning your first solo trip, navigating neurodivergence on the trail, or finding your rhythm in a new country, I’m here for it.
