About
I'm Natalie, your go-to travel buddy and expert trip planner extraordinaire. Yep, you heard that right, I'm the one who's obsessed with turning your travel dreams into reality. Whether you're flying solo, cozying up with your sweetheart or rounding up the squad for an epic adventure, I've got your back. I’m not just about booking trips; I’m about crafting unforgettable journeys that resonate with your soul.
What sets me apart as your Travel Advisor? It's simple: I don't just send you to destinations; I want to immerse you in them. From hidden gems off the beaten path to cultural encounters that leave you breathless, every detail is meticulously planned to ensure an experience that's as unique as you are.
But why choose a travel advisor over booking on your own? Here's the scoop: sure, you could spend hours scrolling through endless websites, trying to piece together the perfect itinerary. But let's be real, who's got the time for that? With me by your side, you can kiss those travel headaches goodbye! I've got the insider knowledge, the industry connections and the experience to create a trip that's tailor-made just for you. Best part, I make my commission on booking accommodations, at no additional cost to you.
Think about it this way: anyone can be a tourist, but it takes a special kind of explorer to dive headfirst into the heart and soul of a destination. That's where I come in. From mingling with the locals to uncovering the coolest spots in town, I've got the insider scoop to make your trip truly unforgettable.
Oh, and did I mention I am all about making a positive impact? I’m a firm believer in leaving a place better than I found it. So, get ready to not only see the world but to make it a better place while you're at it.
When you consider a trusted travel advisor: You're not just getting a trip, you're getting peace of mind. No more worrying about hidden fees, subpar service or disappointing accommodations. I've got everything covered, so all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
So, what do you say? Ready to ditch the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary? Then let's do this! Pack your bags, grab your sense of adventure and let's Explore More together.
Travel style
I'm a Luxe Adventure Traveler - A bit of a wanderluster, and I've always been fascinated by different cultures and ways of life. I love learning about the history and traditions of the places I visit, and I'm always up for trying new things.
I'm a flexible traveler, and I'm happy to go on either a short, relaxing 5-star beach vacation or a long trip exploring multiple cities . I have experience and suggestions for solo travel or large group travel.
Reach out to me for the best dining and entertainment recommendations.

Natalie's reviews
We wanted a quick and fun getaway to Miami for a long weekend. Natalie was great at helping us organize our hotels, activities and dinner recommendations. We loved the personalized perks on arrival at our hotels and personalized itinerary for our trip. Looking forward to working with Natalie on our trip to Las Vegas soon!

Best trip to Utah yet! Natalie’s attention to detail and intentional efforts to to ensure a seamless trip to SLC did not go unnoticed! From the moment we arrived to the hotel we were advised that they were “awaiting our arrival” and had prepared an upgraded room for our stay! It was a wonderful surprise and kicked off the weekend on the best foot. Natalie also ensured we had all the perks and amenities of the hotel accessible and costs waived where applicable - our breakfast on premise was comped! I look forward to working with Natalie on the many adventures in the future! #TravelMoreWithNatalie
