Beauty to the MAX

We get more acquainted with Magdalena Max, the free-thinking fox from Fifth Avenue

Hey Magdalena, welcome back to MAXIM. Tell us a bit about the shoot
Malibu beach, California is so wild and untamed. I love everything about it: powerful waves, imposing rock formations, windy conditions. It’s pure nature at its most beautiful and my absolute favourite place to shoot. This is where I feel fully alive and one with nature.

Give us a bit of background and your life so far:
I’m living my dream. I’ve always wanted to live on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan and travel the world. NYC is truly the centre of the world. It’s everything you can imagine from living in the most cosmopolitan city in the world; fast, exciting, thrilling, diverse, cultural, imposing.
Travelling the world, experiencing different cultures, meeting diverse people, learning about their way of life, and sharing all of the content with my followers is exactly what I’m passionate about. It’s impossible to decide which place impressed me the most since they’re all so unique and each of them has affected me in a different way. Besides travel, I love fashion and a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy all three equally and try to create content that combines them.

What do you love most about yourself?
Being authentic, outspoken and non-conformist is very important to me.

The first thing in the morning?
Two cups of Nespresso coffee and a swim

Weird quirk?
I laugh really loudly if I see or remember something funny, even if I’m all by myself.

Describe yourself in five words:
Authentic, untamed, inquisitive, free-thinking, with a sarcastic sense of humour.

What is the first thing you notice about the opposite gender.
For me, the most obvious thing I notice is whether a man leads a healthy lifestyle; how fit he is, and this is then closely followed by his eyes and smile.

Most attractive quality in a man.
A combination of strength, confidence and intelligence.

What impresses you on a first date.
These three things, in this order: a sense of humour, openness and nice manners.

What advice would you give a man?
Be original and true to yourself. Be a leader, not a blind follower. Be exciting, not predictable.

Ideal boyfriend in one sentence.
He’s the one that makes me happy to be alive.

Guilty pleasure.
Every now and then I have a bite of Torrons Vicens’ Kava or Baileys flavoured artisan chocolate.

What words you live by.
Just do it.

Something new happening in your life right now.
I’m currently working with a web developer on my own website. I’m hoping it’ll become another outlet for me to stay in touch and create content for my fans.

Major thing you want to accomplish by the end of the year
I’d love to vastly expand my online presence, far beyond the current level, by creating an amazing new exotic travel and fashion content as well as by being featured in more magazines.
