Hey there! this is Natalia. I'm 24, currently living and studying Philosophy of Science in London but originally from Madrid, Spain. Now traveling the south of Spain and Portugal. I'm in a moment in my live where I need inspiration from some beautiful beings and where I can share, contribute and help others.

Currently, I'm eager to learn alternative ways of living and self-sustainability in a world that is going a bit mad. It's time for me to learn how to do things from the very basic - like building or growing vegs and natural remedies in a natural way - to the most complex, like being able to be self-sustained and have a peaceful, simple and mindful life.

I genuinely love meeting humans, having deep and meaningful conversations and give love. We are all such a great source of wisdom.

A bit more about myself... as a philosopher I'm interested in consciousness, existential philosophy, quantum mechanics and eastern and indigenous mysticism and philosophy.

I am a contemporary dance and yoga and meditation practitioner but I also love doing other outdoor activities like hiking and specially climbing (indeed, I super love climbing). In general, I'm an active, happy and cheerful person but at the same time I really enjoy having a peaceful and mindful life. I also really like cooking, mainly veggie.

Unfortunately, I can't host people at the moment at home. I live in a flatshare and not everybody agrees on bringing "strangers" in. We are working on it at the moment though and we are hoping to change this soon!

I travel light and can do with minimal accommodations. Also, I´m a rather clean person. Although I am not vegetarian, I prefer eating the least meat and dairy products possible. I'm a very adaptable and understanding person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I genuinely love meeting humans and having deep conversations. I especially enjoy talking with people with very different ideas and approaches to life. There is always something beautiful to learn from every single person.

Music, Movies, and Books

In art, I especially appreciate every piece that teaches me a lesson, a new perspective or a new insight. Whatever it might be. I tend to enjoy more insightful movies, books or music, those that carry a message and expand my limits beyond rationality and the material world.

Some books: The end is my beginning (Tiziano Terzani), 7 brief lessons of physics (Carlo Rovelli - super beautiful book!), The active side of infinity (Carlos Castaneda), The doors of Perception (Huxley)

Some movies: Waking Life, Love, Inception

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave home at the age of 20 and be on the move since then!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make delicious veggie pizza from scratch!
I would like to learn some house building skills, permaculture gardening, handcrafts and in general, expand my capacity to express myself through art.

I'm also a contemporary dance dancer. Would love to share some improv session!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook delicious and natural food - I've actually worked as a cook! And I love doing it so I'm always happy to so.

Because of my studies, I know some very interesting stuff about physics and quantum mechanics that I can share!
