Lives in Berlin, Germany
🚀 Hey there, fellow explorers! I'm Natalie, the architect-turned-adventurer behind Walkabout Tours. One year ago, I bid farewell to my desk job to pursue my passion for history, food, and unraveling the architectural tales of cities. 🏦 Since then, I've proudly launched my own tour guiding business 👣 right here in Berlin, the incredible city I now call home. Why trust Walkabout Tours? Well, my journey from drafting blueprints to guiding city tours is fueled by a genuine love for history and design, coupled with a thirst for exploration. As a trained architect, I've honed the art of seeing cities through a different lens. 🔍 What's my travel style? Picture this: consuming as much delicious food as possible, then walking off all the calories by exploring nooks, crannies, side streets, and lesser-known spots. I thrive on uncovering the design gems and history nuggets that make a city pulse with life. Where can I help you plan? I work as a tour guide in Berlin, the gorgeous city I now call home, but I have previously lived for several years in Paris and Rotterdam. I grew up in Australia and have a lifetime's worth of knowledge about both Melbourne and Sydney! My promise to you: I am your local guide when it comes to crafting a unique and personalized experience. Let me create a guide, itinerary, or travel suggestions tailored to your desires to ensure your holiday is an unforgettable journey! 🌟 So, let's embark on a journey where every street is a chapter, and every skyline is a masterpiece. Join me, and let's make your Berlin adventure unforgettable! 🌍✨
