Solo Travel!

As the proud Owner Operator of House of Travel Nelson, I lead a small but passionate team dedicated to taking care of all your travel needs.

I primarily work on the Orbit World Travel side of our business, specialising in business and group travel. But as a traveller myself, I love chatting with customers and the team about their upcoming adventures — there’s nothing better than sharing in the excitement of a great trip!

Travel has played a huge role in my life. From years of family holidays to the Gold Coast and Fiji, where the kids spent hours in the pool or on the playground, to unforgettable highlights like Disneyland (they were 10 and 12 — the perfect age!), followed by a relaxing week in Mexico. These days, with older kids, we’re seeking more adventure. Our recent trip to Vietnam was a standout — from the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful beauty of Hoi An's lanterns and Halong Bay. If you haven’t been, it’s a must! 

Next on my list? Europe. While I’ve done a couple of quick trips in the past, I’m keen to take the time to explore the diverse cultures and rich history of the places I’ve spent years helping others discover.

Whether your trip is big or small, come in and see us at House of Travel Nelson — we’ll make sure it’s your best one yet.

Nice to meet you! I love traveling with my husband, whether it's hiking the Camino de Santiago, biking through Latvia, or relaxing on beach holidays in places like Greece and Fiji. Recent highlights include cruising Norway and exploring Puglia, Italy—though I’m always guilty of overpacking!

I have travelled to over 40 countries and I am always plotting what's next - however, the more places I experience, the longer the longer the list gets! I love the anticipation of a new adventure and learning as much as I can from every new journey. I am a self-described travel enthusiast, so being able to talk travel every day and share my passion for travel is a dream come true. I love helping people realize their travel dreams and being able to live vicariously through experiences. 

Getting to know my clients and learning what's important to them is something I really enjoy, and helps when creating an itinerary that's is as unique and as special as the traveler.

There is nothing more satisfying to me than a client popping in after their journey with tales to tell of the adventures they've had. I love hearing peoples stories and experiences as every experience is so different - there is no universal truth or one size fits all option when it comes to travel!

For me travel is inspiring and transformative - it allows you to learn more about the world around you, and in the process, more about yourself.

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!
