About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My currently mission is to find my next mission: Masters degree in Art therapy? Teaching abroad? Creative project? Travelling? Help! :P

And of course: eating healthy most of the time, practicing yoga on a regular basis (which I currently don't do)...

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Magda,
I'm an energetic and outgoing person who enjoys going out and meeting new people. I`m friendly, easy going and enjoy pretty much all types of activities: biking, hiking, camping, all sort of cultural events, concert, festivals, etc...

PHILOSOPHY

"There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in"-Leonard Cohen

Know yourself!!!

How you do anything is everything.

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went sky diving !!!

I participated in puppetry Festivals with original creations or adaptations and other theatre projects with students.

Biked 90km my record so far (plan to do 112 km this summer 2022 and wish to continue surpassing myself when biking. I really enjoy it!

Hiking the Hallasan mountain in Jeju Island

Seeing monkeys in South East Asia !!

Raising my lovely former cat named Frida (who died in a car accident). She was a great teacher... We had a beautiful connection and we understood each other. R.I.P Frifri xo

Different sceneries from travelling: like seeing millions of motor bikes in Vietnam and a million people with luggage on one tiny motor bike...wow!

Making my students happy and engaged with different activities.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak three languages so I can teach you the words you want to learn and how to pronounce them!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food and alcohol :)

I'll find an extra bike and we could explore the surrounding and have a picnic!

If you enjoy dancing let's do it!

I have a guitar which you could use
