Hey guys! Welcome back to American Expats, a series that shows you what it’s like to live as an expat in cities around the world.

Our latest interview is with Natalye, a California native who lives as an expat in Berlin with her German husband and son. Here, Natalye describes public nudity, her obsession with German baked goods, and tips on how to score an amazing apartment in Berlin.

Natalye’s background:

Here, she talks about local German beers, the hip warehouse district, and how everything is closed on Sundays.

Jordan’s background: Moin! (That’s ‘hello’ in northern German slang.) My name is Jordan and I live in Hamburg with my boyfriend. I work in advertising, helping major German companies launch their campaigns on the international market.

I ended up living in Hamburg due to my German boyfriend. We met at a ball in Heidelberg, Germany, while I was doing my Master’s.
