Meet Maria, 103 year old Tripper



Before the summer break, Jose and I had the luck to meet with Maria, the oldest Tripping host and probably the oldest social networker in the world; at 103 years of age, she is one of the most beautiful ladies I've ever met.

"When Maria was born, San Francisco was still recovering from the 1906 Earthquake. Few families had telephones, the first radio broadcast had just happened and tv wouldn't be invented for another 20 years. Cars were new too - the streets were still filled with horse-drawn carriages - and there were no planes in the sky. It was a totally different world." [Tripping Blog]


Getting to know a person of this age with such energy is inspiring and it makes you think how much potential we have and how much of it we waste. If you live in San Francisco, make sure to find her Tripping page and get a good dose of proper storytelling, you'll thank her.
Thanks Jen for putting us in contact with Maria and watch the video Jose edited of our meeting with Maria.
Also, read the Tripping post about Maria to know more about her.
