CURRENT MISSION

to know the world and myself better, to share values important for me through the art, shows, theater and any other ways

ABOUT ME
I grew up in Wroclaw but I'm living in Warsaw from 7 years and working with different artistic projects.
This is my website: www.natalia-nguyen.info
I'm working with children making some artistic workshop of animation movies in stop motion technic.
I'm also making some shadow theater show for children.
With my friends from Group CzujCzuj we were traveling in different countries (Mexico, Guatemala, Spain, Portugal, France) and making shadow theater show and workshop for children from orphanages, schools, kindergartens and on the street.
That was great project and a lot of fun.
We are not profesionalist but we love what we do. We learnt everything by ourself.
We enjoy it a lot and we could share our polish culture through the art.
This is our blog: http://projektczujczuj.blogspot.com/

I love working with children, to share my passions and help them to explore their skills.
It's also important for me to grow up in my artistic path, develop my skills and have fun from what I do :)
I'm learning pantomime in Warsaw and I have a group of storytellers with my friends.

I love to meet other cultures, people, to listen their stories and learn new things. We can learn a lot from each other.

I did some Thai massage courses (in Thailand and Poland) so I can make thai massage in exchange of hosting me.

PHILOSOPHY

follow your heart

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have big experience in CS. I used it few times but long time ago.

Interests

I love dance and any kind of movements depends of what my body tell me. Sometimes it can be yoga, tai chi or crazy dance. I think we should listen our body and mind and follow it.
I'm also interested in storytelling. With my friends we created a small group of storytellers. We are collecting stories and legends from differents countries which are interesting for us and later we are telling them for public. It's one of my passions.

I love good food, specially vietnamese kitchen. I admire also many kinds of cheese with olives and wine :)
