Hi, I'm Nathalie. I'm Swiss born, and moved to the United States (California) for studying when I was 23 years old. I finished my studies, got married and had a child. I got married in August 2003 and it was already over in January 2005. Then my son was born in July 2005. For a year and a half now, I've been fighting very hard to be able to move back home to Zurich with my two and a half year old son.+ more..
