About Me

Hola mis amigos =)

My name is Magdalena. I´m a funny, crazy, friendly, open-mind person and I want to discover the world, other cultures and a lot of interesting, good-tasting food. I was travelling a long time in South America, but in the moment, I want to learn more about Europe and places I´ve never been there.

My boyfriend Felix and I, we moved to Bad Wörishofen in September 2024 to start a new life in the region called "Unterallgäu". We both are working in town and we are happy to discover our new place. Well, we are working, but we always try to help some travellers on her way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m interested in meet people from other countries and speak about other cultures/traditions/politics and typical things in their home towns/lands. Also it´s nice to talk about the experience which you made over your travel-trips or in Couchsurfing. It´s also very intresting to see how diferent people live all over the world.
If I had to choose between a hotel room or couchsurfing, I definitely would prefer Couchsurfing!

Interests

I like to run, to swim, to read, to talk, to travel and of course to cook =).
I`m very interested to discover food, drinks and dishes/recipes form other countries and I want to try it all, if it´s posible ;-). I like the mountains a little bit more than the sea, so if I can do a trekking near our home it would be fantastic. I love to talk in spanisch, because it´s my favourite language.

¡Travel often - Viaja mucho - Reise oft! - Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.
