Hello! My name is Magdalena. I am a really enthusiastic, personable and amiable person. I enjoy reading and writing (comic books especially) as well as cooking. As a vegan I am always trying to find new recipes to cook, especially if avocados are involved.

I listen to a wide variety of music, mainly within the punk/ska/indie genre. In my free time I enjoy going to concerts, petting dogs, hiking or looking up puns.

I lived in Southern California for the majority of my life until college. I moved to San Francisco in 2013 and have been enjoying it ever since. I am currently majoring in creative writing and minoring in sexuality studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting and conversing with people! I'm also a college student currently hoping to travel over my winter and summer breaks throughout my college career.

I hope to build friendships with different people all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've managed to wake up every day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you all about how to eat on a vegan diet or anything revolving around sexuality studies/social justice.
I would really love to learn all about your culture, any languages you speak, and which music/books you listen to! Exchanging different interests is always my favorite.
I'd share food and/or comics with queer representation!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some company/friendship, music interests as well as a few poems/stories I've written! I could write you up something as well if you're interested.
