Hi, I’m Maggie :)).

"He saw himself as a Wandering Scholar. He was alone, and he was ready to sleep anywhere, talk to anybody, live on almost nothing, eat or drink anything, have a go at any language, make friends with rich or poor, and brave the worst that heat and cold, mishap and blister, officialdom, prejudice and politics could do to him" - I read this book, “The time of gifts”, and I fell in love with that paragraph.

I love adventure, video games, books, tv shows, caving and climbing, watching good movies (bad ones too cause it’s fun), travelling with friends or travelling to meet new friends, film photography, eating a lot, getting lost in strange places.
Total nerd, occasional weird person and probably a lot more multitudes :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling in an infinitely more interesting way, meeting people I wouldn't otherwise meet, hearing their stories and making new ones! I guess as all of us here probably, searching for that human connection.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have so many favourites, it’s always hard to pick. I listen to all kinds of music, a lot of disco, lots of blues, alternative rock, violin concerts, jazz, old classics, new weird finds. Always open to recommendations, I’m always on the search for something new.

I go crazy for a good movie. Or like any movie with friends. Some favourites are Into the wild, Swiss army man, The diary of Bridget Jones, La la land, Lord of the rings, The thing, Children of men, Arcane, Coraline, Mad Max, Gladiator, Labyrinth, Apocalypse now, Stand by me and maaany more.

As with everything else, I have so many favourites. I’m a giant Stephen King fan, would definitely put him as my favourite author, also Ray Bradbury, Terry Pratchet. The kite runner, Shadow of the wind, The dark tower, All quiet on the western front, A thousand splendid suns, The stand, Brave new world, King rat, Something wicked this way comes, The thorn birds and many more. Other than that I love reading realistic drama and actually, mostly anything.
Also I love comics! (The Walking Dead, Sandman, Y the last man, lots of short ones)

I do also play a loot of games, although as everything else not as much as I would want to. Lots of DnD as well as other rpg formats, played the whole of Gloomhaven too! I love small indie adventure, puzzle, story games as well as big rpg's that take me weeks and months. For two years I studied game design so I just love the medium as an art form. Also video games are fun :D
Pls recommendations! Would love to read and watch all your favourites!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hope I do have something worth putting here someday😳
There are so many amazing things I wish I’d do. Hopefully I will.
As nothing else comes to mind now I’ll put down here that I crossed from the east coast of Spain to Portugal by hitchhiking and that felt quite cool to me :))

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to hear any story you would tell! Everything is interesting to me and I love listening :)

I always love sharing any skills I have, mostly would be helpful with any kind of art probably
I spend a year as a digital art and video-editing teacher for kids so really enjoy the process of just helping with stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Would love to talk about anything, travel, movies, shows, books, arts, funny childhood memories :)
Also more general stuff like how's life in Bulgaria, cultural differences and food (although so sorry I'm very bad with cooking) or whatever!
