Hello! I'm Natalia, a born and raised New Yorker from Brooklyn. After studying and working in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, I moved back to further my dance studies (I'm an Argentine Tango performer). I'm pretty free spirited and try to enjoy all the perks of living in NYC, and love living up in Inwood! I like hiking difficult trails and I buying clothes to hike in -- although I might like buying the clothes more than hiking sometimes! : )

I'm a huge fan of Inwood Park as it's not like Central Park at all. There are fewer people and it's a great place to be alone and think. You can go to the weekly Farmers' Market which is just down the street from me on Saturday mornings, then go on a nice hike, or play tennis, basketball or soccer, before finally laying out to work on your tan. Later you can watch the sunset over the Hudson River or perhaps go on a sunset hike. It really is nice up here! Come see what I see!!

My boyfriend Mike and I are also big theatergoers and see lots of BROADWAY (and Off-Broadway) shows, concerts, and dance performances.

**My boyfriend is able to get BIG DISCOUNTS on lots of shows and other events in the city so if you're interested in seeing something let me know and I'll see if he can hook you up! It's best to contact me via FACEBOOK so that we can chat live-and-in-person**

We're also big thrifters, and co-run THRIFTAHOLICS (www.THRIFTAHOLICS.com). We know where the best cheap deals are for just about anything you'd want in NYC.

We also run NYC GRINDHOUSE (www.NYCGRINDHOUSE.com), which is a group of Horror and Grindhouse aficionados. It ain't for the squeamish...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I participate in Couchsurfing by hosting as many international travelers as I can in my cute flat uptown in Inwood. I like to show people around my Great Neighborhood, especially Inwood Park. I also like to use Couchsurfing when I travel with my boyfriend, and have stayed with some really nice people.

I've hosted many surfers and had a fun time doing so. I've also surfed a few couches myself with my boyfriend Mike (also a Couchsurfing host) & always have had a Great Time! :)

Interests

I love Horror & Grindhouse movies, especially from the 70's. I run NYC GRINDHOUSE with my boyfriend Mike www.NYCGRINDHOUSE.com . I'm also an avid Argentine Tango enthusiast, both as a dancer and instructor.
