Books, sports, photography, graphic design, writing, writing, and some more writing. That basically sums up what is Maria Restrepo.  A book worm. A huge European soccer fan who also follows international teams (Real Madrid and Colombia all the way!), and a tennis player with another five sports in her past. I can capture the essence of a moment in different perspectives as best as I can. And I’m someone who enjoys writing almost as much as life itself. And then comes the future. What hobby could possibly be my passion? Journalism 100 percent. Whatever position it may be; Photographer, Graphic Design, Reporting, Copy editing, Fact checking, anything. As long as it is a job within a publication that reaches millions of eyes, it will suffice.  All my dreams and hobbies meshed into one small paragraph, Maria Paula Restrepo Giraldo.
