ABOUT ME

My name is Natacha. I live in Lyon with my boyfriend. I'm 24 and I'm currently working in a hostel. Four years ago I travelled through Australia with my backpack, I have a lot to tell about that and now I'm just waiting for my studies to finish to travel again around the world.
I'd like to become a graphic designer and working hard for it to become true :)

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy of life will be " be yourself " don't listen to others when they try to detroy you or your dreams. There is so much to discover and if you have no real limits, you can live something really nice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish I can offer you a really nice place to stay while you are travelling :)

BUT there is something you should know about :
I'm vegan so there's NO MEAT at home :)

Interests

If I have to list everything I'm interested in, it's gonna be really long, but, in short, I really like everything related to art in general.
My father is a photographer and I have a strong interest in photography since I'm young. I really like listening to music too, every kind of music, I couldn't live without that but I think it's the same for everybody, isn't it ?
Then my passion in travelling grew year after year. I used to travel a lot with both of my parents when I was younger and then I decided to go alone to Australia.
I enjoy going to museums, to go ice skating and to do some hikes when I have some time !
The next things I would like to learn is harmonica.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot when I have some time. I really like reading Paulo Coehlo or Delphine de Vigan (a french writer).

The books I love to read are most travel stories, like the french writer Sylvain Tesson who spend some time next to the Baikal lake in Syberia or Jack Kerouac with his famous "on the road" story.
The kind of music I like is alternative, folk, country music and most of the time rather calm, slow … but something you should also know is that we listen really often to music at home, and we enjoy to discover other music than what we are used to listen :)
I like world music too, it means music that I can't definitly understand because it's not my language, I found it funny !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To swim with a turtle on the great barrier reaf was particulary awesome. I'm shy to tell that I haven't done something really crazy like jumping in a train or something. Some people do crazy things and I respect that a lot because I don't no if I would be able to do the same.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my own language if you'd like to and may be some photography things and also vegetarian cooking and thinking (way of life I would say)
I can also give you some tips about Lyon or a place in the world in particular !
Anyway whatever I can share, it would be awesome to share it with you if you have an interest in it !
