Hi there,

I'm Nathalie, I'm currently in England (Nottingham) for 5 months for an exchange semester at university. When I'm not here, I live in Berlin where I've been studying North American studies for the past 5 years (&very sad that my student days are coming to an end in the foreseeable future...), although I originally come from a small town in Luxembourg where I lived up until graduating high school. I'm open-minded, friendly, chronically indecisive, and like to laugh and eat and let out my inner child at times. I'm probably also not very good at describing myself, but feel free to ask me anything else you're curious about!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people - get to know new places - experience a bit more of the world around me

Interests

I love trying out new sports like trampoline jumping and inline skating
Most of the time I'm too lazy to cook fancy stuff, but I do consider myself a pretty good baker - and I do like to eat!
I've more recently discovered that I like being outdoors and hiking a lot
I like words and language and everything it can do
and I also very much enjoy the generic traveling, reading, watching movies and series, lying in the sun and daydreaming :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a trip to Asia last summer on my own to visit my best friend and my brother and saw a lot, but far too little of Southeast Asia

Spent the night on a beach in Delaware to see the sunrise

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the fascinating language that is Luxembourgish and that you will never ever need in your life - and also how to really really suck at Karaoke and still enjoy it!

I'd love to learn how to roll the R when speaking Spanish so that I don't sound like an imbecile anymore, and how to play the guitar
