Hello, my name is Natalia, I am from Mexico.
Right now I'm an exchange student in Madrid at the Universidad de Rey Juan Carlos on Visual Comunication.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in Couchsurfing because I love traveling and meeting new people, I think that's the best way to learn and grow up.

As a cinematrographer I like hearing stories, the more stories I listen the better. There is nothing like visiting a place and meeting new people, that makes the adventure even better.

Plus I think that there is nothing like staying with someone who knows the city or country that you are visiting, they always have the best advices and know where to go.

Interests

I like hiking or going out for a long stroll, also going to museums, the theater and the movies.
I like reading, dancing Flamenco, photography and one of the things I love the most is taking pictures of my dog. I love dogs.
