About
I am happiest when I have my passport in-hand and ready to experience new and familiar places. San Antonio, TX is my home, but now living andstudying in the Swiss Alps.

Travel style
From the tapas tours in Spain to horseback riding in the Grand Teton Mountain range, I am driven by creating memories that last a lifetime. My tastes in hotels range from luxurious Irish Castles to boutique hotels nestled within the Swiss Alps. I like to be prepared for my trips, but also see where the journey takes me. Traveling for me is not about a checklist of places to see, but rather meeting new people and experiencing cultures that leave an everlasting impression. I am a big foodie and food is an important aspect in regards to travel because it provides a glimpse of the people, culture and traditions. So if people are interested in finding off-the-beaten-path or high-end restaurants, or even just food experiences – I am your girl!

Nataliya planned a perfect trip! We followed the itinerary she did for us and everything went as planned. It was very nice that she gave us train ticket info and restaurant recommendations and especially the shopping tips on where to go.. We will definitely go back to Nataliya to plan our next trip.

Nataliya is our go-to travel expert. Always going above & beyond, she ensures every detail is perfect. Our experiences she organized (Italy, London, Napa, etc.) were all unforgettable - but, Cancun was one of the absolute best. Thank you, Nataliya for your expert care!!
