Hi there! Nice to meet ya!

I'm Natalia and I'm 20 years old, I'm studying Preschool education in León (I'm in my third year).

My friends always tell me that I look shy and calm...until I start talking.
I consider myself a positive and friendly person, if you ask my parents they'll tell you I'm a hippie in disguise (a "viva la vida" person if you ask my father) haha

I love learning things, I find the world fascinating. My dream is to travel the world, without a plan, just enjoying life and meeting new people along the way

You can contact me in Instagram if you want, it is private but if you send me a request and a message (telling me you contact me because of CS) I will aprove the request :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people is the way to new learning expierences. I'm a student so I can't afford travelling as much as I would want to, so this is a great way to learn about new cultures, perspectives and ideas...

I can't host because I don't have my own house, or any room available, but I would love to meet, talk and enjoy the city with you!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't decide!!

I love any kind of music, I don't care, I'm gonna sing it loud in the car anyway! I could say my favourite bands and artists are The Doors, Bowie, Tame Impala, Joy Division, Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Sinatra...

I would say one of my favourite movies is Into the Wild, but Wild and Chasing Mavericks are amazing too.

Some of my favourite are: Inglourious Basterds, 500 days of Summer, Kill Bill (I and II), Almost Famous, Alien (all of them), Jurassic Park (same), STAR WARS (ok, let's pretend Episode II does NOT exist), Memento, Birdman, Donnie Darko, American Beauty, LOTR, Lords of Dogtown, Velvet Goldmine, Good Will Hunting, Trainspotting, Watchmen, Million Dollar Baby, Fight Club, The dreamers, Catch me if you can, School of Rock, Big fish, Mamma Mia!, Little Miss Sunshine, Sweeney Todd, Shutter Island... SOOOO MANY!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade! (I went to the Madrid Gay Pride Parade last year too)

I got sunburned in California...twice (even with sunscreen)

I worked in Camden for a month

I spent two years of my childhood in Switzerland

I witnessed a huge storm camping in the Cies Islands

I crossed the Guadalquivir river swimming, from Sanlucar de Barrameda to Doñana

I played the ukelele with strangers and sang with them around the campfire in Andalucía (what a night!)

I spent three months as a teacher with four year old children and I will never forget that amazing experience

Teach, Learn, Share

How wild it is...to let it be

And remember...Happiness is only real when shared!
