CURRENT MISSION

Experience the world and share life stories

ABOUT ME

Hi! How are you? My name is Magdalena. This year I am travelling around the world and wish to meet YOU!

I would like to experience visited places by meeting and befriending local people.

I am very curious about the world and people stories. Learning about your life, discovering what is important to people around the world and dreams they wish to pursue is invaluable to me. It gives me inspiration for my own life and is core to my travels.

I like to spread energy and smile, galvanize and appreciate people around me. I value new experiences, novelty and exploration of unknown territories. I like to feel alive. Breathing, laughing, just being with other people.

This year I travel. Every day I try to learn something new, experience new reality and open eyes to a new phenomena. Broadening horizons is a travel in itself. I hope I can meet you and ask you: what is the most important thing in your life?

PHILOSOPHY

You live only once. Jump into life, experience as much as you can, do not be afraid of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
the variety of music I like is the exact representation of my colorful personality :) I like all kinds of music, modern and ethnic, old and new, like the Beatles, the Black Keys, the Lumineers, Cat Stevens, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Ivete Sangalo, Johnny Cash, Jamiroquai and much more.

I also love music of the nature, listen to jungle sounds in the night or gibbons during the day. Ah, and that sound of the train that puts you to a peaceful sleep with beautiful travel dreams.

Movies:
Django,
Cabaret,
Amelie,
Happy go lucky,
The Goonies,
Pirates of the Caribbean,
Lord of the Rings,
The Pianist,
The King's speech,
The mysterious cities of gold,
Twin Peaks,
The secret life of words and many more.

And movies of those guys in general: Herzog, Tarantino,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One?! Couchsurfing you must be joking!

lived in Lisbon, snorkelled with turtles in Malaysia, ate great pizza in Sicily, dived in Sipadan, did the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, rode on horses with Tibetans in China, seen dolphins in Indonesia, tramped the Milford Sound in New Zealand, camped in Hawaii, still so much to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

teach: how to quickly get overwhelmed with the greatness of the world, basics of capoeira and yoga, diving, research, how to travel cheaply.

learn: how to achieve your goals

share: indefinite curiosity for life
