CURRENT MISSION

Becoming a Midwife and helping women through one of the most amazing moments of our lives, giving birth

ABOUT ME

I'm happy to say that all the ideas that I might had about myselve are changing ... it's better to meet and you get your idea, I don't worry much right now to stablish who am I :).
I am, and that's enough.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm discovering how to take things slowly, one at a time. How can I be present in every moment, how can I deal with my thoughts and shut them from time to time. How can I enjoy live in the small things. Having lived in the caribbean, in the mountains and in a meditation center helps!
Since the meditation that I practice comes from a Buddhist tradition, loving and caring are becoming fundamental in my life, therefore I can't imagine a more noble profession than the one that I am going to study; Midwifery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm starting.
Allthough I've already met lots of people that hosted me in Russia and Ucrain in summer 2011, through friends, not through CS. :). This experience changed me a lot and here I am now, in CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I got hosted by one lovely couple in Liverpool and in a student's house in Manchester…

Interests

I used to like to hang out a lot in the night, go to the movies, to the theater, discus politics and gender politics. Now I do it less, but I´m very social and open. I also like going to the nature, listening and feeling life, dance (contact improvisation or any free dance) and act (improvisation) and Vipassana meditation.
I also like hitchhiking and traveling.
I actually feel that I have being traveling for the last 2 years as I am constantly being hosted by friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well… I love any movie almost, as long as it is in it's original language. I can hardly sleep through a movie.

Lately I am reading anything related to midwifery and motherhood: Spiritual Midwifery, books from Michel Odent, Carlos Gonzalez...

I love "100 años de soledad" and books by Julio Cortázar.

I have always loved reading essays, depending on the period of life I was living: books about performing arts, about feminism, about philosophy.

Now I prefer to live and learn skills valuable to others than get caught in philosophical discussions.

Non violent communication by Marshall Rosenberg, The power of now by Eckhart Tolle…

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011 I spend 3 mounths traveling through Ukraine and Russia in dancing festivals of Contact Improvisation in the nature. I never felt so inspired, so alive and so strong at facing live in rush moments. And mainly I enjoyed discovering myselve and other amazing people.
Also, hitchhiking through Europe and catching the transiberean to climb mountains in the Altai region.
