LOS ANGELEs
with
Nathalie Bevernaegie
As a travel reporter, Nathalie Bevernaegie was always on the lookout for soulful places and fascinating stories, and in 2005, she was awarded the Dylan Thomas Writers Award from the Welsh Tourist Board for a story about Wales. In 2009, her husband’s job catapulted Nathalie’s family to Istanbul: “So there you are, on a cold January night, with two kids, tons of luggage, not speaking a word of Turkish, in the pouring rain in a completely unfamiliar environment.”
Nathalie started writing columns about her adventures in Turkey and piqued her readers' interest so much that many of them couldn’t wait to experience in person what she had been writing about. That’s how she started Istanbul Privé: alternative city walks showing guests the hidden gems of the city and giving them a taste of the daily life of the locals.
In 2016, Nathalie moved to Los Angeles where, bitten by the guide virus and empowered by her long experience in the Turkish metropolis, she is determined to continue down the same road. She can’t wait to share her stories and show you her favorite places in the City of Angels. “LA has so much more to offer than the stars and glitter of Hollywood. America’s second largest city seduces and vibrates on many levels and does not show its true colors at first. That’s why an insider tour is the ideal way to discover the best of the city.” Travelers who have gone exploring with Nathalie all share the same opinion: they will never look at the city through the same eyes again.
