For Natalie, travel is not just about providing a service, but a deeply personal craft, and every journey she designs reflects that commitment.
Natalie’s journey into travel began with a simple but powerful belief that the most meaningful experiences are found when you look beyond the obvious. With a professional background in events and marketing, Natalie has always had a natural eye for detail, curation, and creating exceptional experiences. In 2020, she founded Roam Travels as a collection of curated travel guides celebrating the very best of Australia. Her team is beloved by discerning travellers for their knack at putting a fresh lens on every destination and uncovering what others so often miss.
What sets Natalie’s approach apart is her deep passion for research. She believes that an extraordinary journey begins long before you board the plane, with a thorough, detail-driven exploration of every destination. Natalie seeks out the hidden gems, exceptional restaurants, local favorites, and authentic experiences that make a place truly come alive. This dedication to going deeper is the foundation of everything Roam delivers. With extensive personal travel across Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, Natalie draws on firsthand knowledge and genuine insight with every itinerary she creates. It’s never just planning travel—for Natalie it’s about curating extraordinary journeys that are deeply personal, meticulously researched, and designed to leave a lasting impression.
My perfect holiday balances the iconic with the unexpected. I am always drawn to a destination’s soul, the local restaurants, the hidden markets, the quiet corners most visitors never find. I believe in experiencing the highlights, but I am equally passionate about going deeper, seeking out the authentic, the off-the-beaten-track, and the genuinely memorable. For me, the perfect holiday is one where you come home feeling like you truly lived a place, not just visited it.
Japan has my heart, completely and forever. It was transformative in a way I didn’t expect: the culture, the people, the extraordinary care and consideration woven into every single interaction. The deep respect for nature, for craft, for others—it is unlike anywhere else in the world, and it changed the way I see travel. I loved The Edition Tokyo in Ginza, a beautifully contemporary property with Scandinavian touches and exceptional service that quietly anticipates your every need. It set the tone for everything that followed.
