Hi! I'm Natalia, 26-year-old girl with so many interests that there is not enough time for all of them. However, my greatest passion is people and meeting them is my greatest adventure. I love spontaneity and going out of the patterns but at the same time, I hold tight to my values and believes. I'm open-minded and very curious about people and their stories. For this reason I became a psychologist and from October I will start studying therapy. I'm currently taking a gap year and traveling the world doing psychology internships or just sightseeing and meeting people. Until then, I lived in Italy, then Sri Lanka. My next destination is France!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but the most interesting thing about traveling for me is learning about other cultures by meeting people. Wherever I'm, I try to stick with the locals. The last time in Sri Lanka, I met local people, worked with them, shopped, cooked, surfed and in the evenings I talked around a bonfire on the beach under a starry sky listening to them play drums and sing. This is traveling for me. Until now, I have done it on my own. Now I decided to use Couchsurfing, which definitely makes it easier!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll never forget meditating with Buddhist Monks at sunrise, scrubbing escaping tortoise shells at a shelter and the moment when I was mistaken for a surgeon at a medical volunteering and asked to start surgery

I'd be happy to spend hours talking about what fascinates and moves us, teach you relaxation and meditation techniques I've learned or spend some nice time away from home in places you like or places you've never been
