ABOUT ME

Hello strangers !
My name is Natacha, I'm French, and I just moved to Graz in October 2017, so I'm looking to forward to meeting people and making new friends here! I work in aeronautics, or at least I did before I quit my job to travel. That felt great by the way!
Now I make a living making videos.

I'm introvert, but I am easygoing, I think, easy to talk to, and I can be very impulsive sometimes, and I talk my mind. And I happen to be scatterbrained because I have a terrible memory ! I'm a good listener, it doesn't mean that I'm good at giving advice, but you can talk to me, I'm a comprehensive person. Some people think that I am childish, I guess they are right in some way but I also can be really responsible and reliable. I won't waste too much time doing things only because that's what is expected. I enjoy living by my own standards, and that can disturb people sometimes. I can be sarcastic, but seriously, I'm cool. I'm just the kind of person who can laugh at anything, I don't mean to be mean.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile, stay positive, be happy, enjoy life, don't give to much importance to the opinion of others.

If you want to feel sad, live in the past. If you want to feel anxious, live in the future. If you want to feel peaceful, live in the now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, to make friends. I just moved to Austria to join my boyfriend, so I need to meet people.

Interests

Oh I am a person of hobbies. I like doing a lot of different stuff. Too much, that's a problem, I always find a new thing I want to do before I was able to seriously get into my previous hobby. For example, I acquired an Arduino and started with the beginner kit. This is very exciting. But then I learned the joys of photography and film editing, and I'm currently playing a lot with Photoshop and Premiere.
I love eating ! I like cooking too, but I have a preference for the eating part =)
I like meeting people, discovering new activities, playing video games ... I'm a very curious person, I love to learn new things.
I'd say my most current hobbies are tabletop rpgs, escape games, and board games.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading, my favorite kinds or books are sf & fantasy. I'm a huge fan of A Song Of Ice And Fire saga by George R.R. Martin, Glen Cook's Black Company, and the Dresden Files of course! I love Slan by A.E. Van Vogt, and most of Philip K Dick. Oh and I love CYOA book ! I like some French stuff too: Windwalkers (aka La Horde du Contrevent) by Alain Damasio is one of my favorite book ever, Les Fourmis trilogy by Bernard Werber, most of Daniel Pennac work, and many things of Amélie Nothomb. European graphic novels such as the Lanfeust saga, the Technopriests, the Blackmoon Chronicles, Logicomix... What else ? Also, I still am and always will be trully in love with the Harry Potter saga. I read a Stephen King book for the first time not so long ago, and I liked it, so now I have added tons of books in my to-read list.

In music, I'm omnivore. Let's say I'm not automatically closed to any type of music. I appreciate Maximum The Hormone, and Wax Tailor, and Gotan Project, and (!!) I've seen AC/DC in concert in 2010 (still awesome)

I enjoyed a lot of movies, I can't simply list them here. I'll just say that I like Tarantino. I also like comic gore movies like Braindead. I am more of a serie person though. Series I love include Kaamelott (the only good French serie), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bojack Horseman, Attack on Titan, Stranger Things
