About me


 

Hi there! I'm Magda West, a curious and positive soul with a fierce independence and a genuine love for life. My biggest passion? Road trips and the unparalleled freedom that traveling brings. I thrive on meeting new people and embarking on unconventional journeys, fully embracing my inner hippie. My adventures often take me into the great outdoors through camping, hiking, and exploring new places. The ocean and the mountains both fuel my sense of adventure, and I love to get lost in their beauty.



By day, I'm a clinical researcher, dedicated to helping patients in hospital. At home, I'm a mum to two wonderful teenagers and the happy owner of two mischievous cats. My love for books and music keeps me inspired, and my snowboard gear is always ready for the next snowy escapade. Recently, I've been busy transforming my trusty Mazda 5 into a ‘mini’ camper car, preparing for the many road trips and adventures that lie ahead.

Nothing excites me more than the spontaneity of travel, the thrill of hiking into the unknown, and the serenity of sleeping under a sky filled with a million stars. In my daily life, I balance my roles at work and at home, but when I'm out in nature, it's all about my personal experiences, memories, and adventures. I find solace and joy in these moments, and I love writing about them, knowing that there are others out there who share my enthusiasm. After all, wonder can find any of us if we keep our eyes wide open & our heads full of dreams!


#goWest: the best journeys are the spontaneous ones, the best hikes are into the unknown, and the best nights are those spent under a sky full of stars ....

Beachy Head: Hiking the Seven Sisters Trail

Image
  The Seven Sisters Trail is a breathtaking coastal path along the South Downs in England, known for its rolling chalk cliffs and stunning seascapes. One of the most famous and dramatic points along this trail is Beachy Head, the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain. Its stark beauty hides dark history, as Beachy Head has long been a place where people tragically take their own lives. The cliff's dark reputation as a site of suicides contrasts with the natural beauty that surrounds it, making it a place of both reflection and awe. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about starting your day with such an adventure, especially in a place as stunning as the Seven Sisters Trail. It’s a journey of physical endurance, but also one of mental clarity, as you find yourself surrounded by nothing but the raw beauty of nature.   I began my hike early in the morning, starting from the charming town of Eastbourne. It was around 7:45AM, with the sun just fully rise over the calm sea. ...

Stunning Jurassic Coast: Enjoying My first road trip with teenage kids

Image
The Jurassic Coast is truly a breathtaking place, where history and nature come together to create one of the most stunning coastal landscapes in the UK. This UNESCO World Heritage site stretches for 95 miles along the southern coast of England, revealing 185 million years of Earth's history.    For our adventure, we decided to park at Lulworth Cove, a picturesque spot that serves as an ideal starting point. The parking fee might seem steep at £20 for the day, but trust me, it's worth every penny. The convenience of being right next to such incredible scenery makes it a no-brainer.   We began our day with a hearty breakfast at a café right by the cove. Yes, the prices were a bit on the commercial side, but the view of the cove while sipping coffee was priceless-ABSOLUTELY!. If you’re on a budget or just prefer a quieter start, packing your own breakfast and setting up on the beach is a great alternative—especially if you're traveling with teenagers whose appetites...

Road Trips & Me

Image
The beginning  of the beginning     Ever since I can remember, I have felt a profound sense of displacement, a longing for a time and place I have never physically known. "I should have been born in the hippie era,"  I would often say, imagining myself amidst the colorful whirl of a typical hippie commune. It is not merely a whimsical notion but a deeply rooted conviction: my soul belongs to that era, to that lifestyle, and to that community.                             ☮   Road Trips : Modern Hippie's Journey Road trips, with their promise of endless horizons and unplanned destinations, embody a spirit of liberation that resonates deeply with those who yearn for a break from the constraints of everyday life. This sense of freedom found in traveling mirrors  the essence of the hippie soul, which seeks connection, authenticity, and a deeper understanding of the world. For modern travellers...
