Jaguar, Tiger, Lejon, Leopard

Read my recent book: Together with the wildlife photographer Jan Fleischmann, Maria has written a book about the four big cats the jaguar, tiger, lion and leopard, available in the Swedish language.

Volunteer at an orphanage

Maria's time spent as a volunteer at an orphanage in war-torn Cambodia (Sunrise Children's Village) gave her new thoughts about what is really important in life. That is one of the circumstances that has led Maria to dedicate a big part of her time to the international non-profit organization Globcal International. As a Goodwill Ambassador, Maria is able to collaborate with other professional colleagues on an international initiative to communicate and promote Humanitarian Issues, Environmental Issues, Human Rights, Children & Women's Empowerment.
