About Magda
I live in Portland, Oregon and am proud to call the Pacific Northwest my home. I have a B.S. in Science and have studied everything from horticulture and the life sciences to anatomy & physiology, nutrition, and exercise science. Occasionally it shows, as I can be a total nerd at times. (Case in point: I have been known to make bar graphs of my tomato yields and I always try to find ways to slip scientific factoids into my blog posts.)
I really like to cook, garden, and practice yoga. I also love to hike and camp and live outdoors, and to take photographs while I’m at it. I’m obsessed with mountains and alpine lakes, sunsets, sunrises, and clear starry skies.
I believe that kindness and simplicity are underrated.
My favorite things include herbal teas, postcards, library books, and baby animals. I dream about building a tiny home, rescuing all the dogs, thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, homesteading, planting a massive food forest, and living the simple life.
I’m currently on a mission to live the fullest life possible and to enjoy every minute of it. I’m actively living my manifesto with Project Delici8, an eight-year quest to fully immerse myself in the things that matter most.
