Hi, I’m Natalie and welcome to Natalie Explores!
Sometimes the opportunity to travel only happens once, and I want to help you make the most of it!
I help travelers make the most of their trip with detailed itineraries, practical tips, and what to REALLY expect.
I started to travel when I was 18 – my first trip was a solo trip to New Zealand. Since then, I can’t stop exploring! I love to plan my trips in advance, and while I was planning my trip to a new destination I wasn’t always able to find the “nitty and gritty” side of places. This inspired me to start this blog so that I could share all of my experiences while traveling – the good, the bad, and what I learned along the way (and what I wish I had known before traveling!).
