Hi, I’m Natalie, a 24-year-old journalism student from Brno, The Czech Republic 🇨🇿 You can always find me on instagram where I share most of my travel stories and captured moments @natali.nec.

For me, traveling isn’t just about crossing borders or collecting passport stamps—it’s about creating genuine connections, exchanging cultures, and learning through shared experiences. ✨

I’ve discovered that the best way to understand the world is by immersing myself in it—meeting people, tasting new foods, listening to different languages, and discovering perspectives I never would have imagined. Traveling helps me see both others and myself more clearly.

I firmly believe that trust and kindness are universal currencies. What you send out into the world always has a way of coming back to you, whether it’s a smile, a helping hand, or a story shared over coffee.

✨ What I truly love doing & my passions:
• 📸 Coapturing moments that tell stories, from quiet landscapes to bustling markets
• 🐾 Adventures with dogs (because furry companions make everything better)
• 🌟 Spontaneita trips to beautiful calm places
• 🗣️ Musings on language, culture, and the beauty of human connection

I’m not just about ticking destinations off a list. I want to dive deeper—hitchhike to remote villages, share meals with strangers-turned-friends, and climb mountains just to see what’s on the other side. Every journey adds a new chapter to the story I’m writing, one filled with unforgettable people, places, and experiences.

As I have already mentioned, I study journalism and media in Brno, Czech Republic. My passion is storytelling, whether through words, images, or videos. I particularly enjoy writing about my travels, documenting not just destinations but the emotions, cultures, and unique moments that make each journey unforgettable. Hope you don't mind this, if yes I'm absolutely okay about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don’t need a fancy hotel! Just a little space or some great conversation with the nice & sharing people from all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve survived 3 months in a very ‘extraordinary’ French school with wardens all over the place 😅
But much more amazing was summer 2024 spent in Java, Indonesia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook and I hope I can be a good listener too! I can show you around my lovely city, recommend you some great spots for any type of activity or just be a good guide for a day or more!
And as I’ve said.. I’d love to become a better French speaker! (So if you’re French 🇫🇷 - looking for someone to hangout with - feel free to message me!😄) - English is great too 🇬🇧
