Solo Travel!

After more than 30 years selling travel, it still  gives me such a buzz to create fabulous holidays. I love watching my clients' anticipation build, being part of the planning, sharing in the excitement of their journey - and of course hearing all about it when they return. It's almost as good as being on the trip with them!

Travel has changed a lot in recent years, and that's exactly why it pays to have an expert in your corner. As a senior, award-winning travel consultant at one of New Zealand's best-rated travel agencies, House of Travel The Crossing, I'm here to take the stress out, and the fun in!!

From complex airfares and cruise itineraries to boutique stays, family getaways and once-in-a-lifetime adventures, I'll help you navigate this new era of travel with confidence - keeping an eye on the details, the fine print, and the "what ifs", so you can focus on the excitement. 

Let's create a holiday to remember - fabulous, seamless, and perfectly you.

As a young and passionate travel consultant with firsthand experience across multiple continents, I bring fresh energy, up-to-date insights and a genuine love for exploring the world.

From my solo adventures in Europe to expeditions through Japan and tropical escapes in the South Pacific, I have a deep understanding of what makes a holiday special and use this to craft unforgettable holidays for my clients.

Whether you're adrenaline junkies or culture enthusiasts, I can turn your ideas into unforgettable memories.

For me, travel has been more than just a series of destinations,  it has been a transformative journey that has sculpted my character and contributed to my personal evolution. 

My travel experiences are not merely about ticking off destinations from a bucket list, but about immersing myself in the heart and soul of each place I’ve visited visit.  

My early travels began with frequent road trips around my home country of Canada and the USA, and I am fortunate enough to have now been to six of the seven continents. 

Exploring the world through various modes of transportation has been a thrilling adventure for me, from cruise ships, to trains, to rickshaws, and I have an appreciation for the experiences that local transport offers.  I am comfortable with sleeping in a hammock in the rainforest, an overwater bungalow in the South Pacific, and everything in between.  

My experiences have taught me to adapt to different situations and understand diverse perspectives, and my background in customer service and sales has equipped me with valuable skills that I believe make me well-suited for various client needs. I believe this makes me well-suited to meet your needs as a client.

Whether it's finding solutions to problems or anticipating your preferences, I strive to provide an exceptional service tailored to you. My aim is to not just meet but exceed your expectations by drawing on my varied background.

My enthusiasm for travel is infectious, and it is my goal to inspire others to embark on their own adventures and discover the beauty of our planet.

I’m Natalia - Travel Fairy!? 

I love crafting trips that blend discovery, comfort, and a little bit of magic.

My initial introduction to the world of travel was becoming a flight attendant after my graduation many moons ago! This gave me first-hand knowledge of flights, airlines and fuelled my own love of travel alongside other travellers.

I’ve visited more than 30 countries, lived in Russia, Thailand, and India,  and travelled widely across Europe and Asia. Each experience has helped me become familiar with both budget and luxury styles of travel (and everything in between!).

As a mum of two, I’m also an expert in travelling with children from toddlers to teens, and I know how to make those trips smooth and enjoyable to all!

With so many years in customer service and the travel industry, I understand and I’m attentive to my clients’ needs and preferences, creating journeys that match their personality and style of travel — from solo travellers and couples to families and all kinds of groups.

I see every journey as a beautiful puzzle. With care and attention, I bring all the pieces together to create your seamless and unforgettable experience.

So, whether you are planning a family holiday, peaceful escapes, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I’d love to help.  

Let’s have some fun & bring your travel dreams to life together!
