“When people plan their travels, they are positive and happy and looking forward to a wonderful trip ahead and feeling so inspired,” says Natalya. “I love that, and I get to share in all of that inspiration and excitement while working with them on their dream itineraries.”
Natalya is part of the team at Travel Associates Elsternwick. She is a destination specialist for Asia, Australia, Eastern Europe and the South Pacific, and is an Adventure Specialist, All-Inclusive Holiday Specialist, Family Holiday Specialist and Small Group Specialist.
Considering a holiday to Russia? Speak to Natalya. She was born in Russia and lived there for 20 years, so she knows everything there is to know. “For one client, I created an in-depth Trans-Siberian rail journey - starting from St Petersburg and Moscow travelling all the way through Siberia and passing the iconic Lake Baikal before rocking up to Vladivostok, Russia's easternmost city,” she says.
On her own holidays, Natalya fell in love with Italy. “It’s an amazing food destination,” she says. “Every single little cafe - even if it doesn’t look fancy - once you step inside to order, every single dish is amazing.” She also travelled to Ischia Island: “We went to the island’s hot springs - they are right by the sea, so you can swim in the sea and then jump straight in the hot springs after. It was definitely the highlight of the trip.”
For stopovers, Natalya recommends Singapore. “It’s very modern, the taxis are cheap and there’s so much to see from Universal Studios to Gardens by the Bay.” Next up on her holiday radar however is Greece. “Greece ticks all the boxes: nature, sea, history and food. I love swimming and ancient culture, and because Greece is a base for modern European culture it’s a fascinating region to explore.”
Wherever she goes, Natalya appreciates the local experience. “When I am on holidays, I like to rent a car and travel around with my family, checkout local cafes, shop local markets, find hidden beaches. I enjoy wandering around the streets or just sitting in a cafe and watching the locals live out their everyday life.”

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
One of my most memorable experiences was crafting a fully independent tour to Egypt for a family of five. They began in Cairo, where they explored the pyramids and enjoyed a private tour of the tombs. Then, they travelled to an ultra-luxury Red Sea resort, where they had private reef-hopping excursions.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
My favorite destination is Italy because each region offers something unique. From the vibrant city life of Milan to the sun-soaked beauty of Sicily, Italy has it all. The country is a perfect blend of rich history, stunning nature, world-renowned food, and exceptional shopping.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I create personalised travel experiences tailored to each client's needs. From exclusive tours to seamless logistics, I handle every detail to ensure a smooth and unforgettable trip. I'm always available to offer expert advice and support, making sure my clients can relax and enjoy their travels to the fullest.
Where is still on your bucket list?
Iceland is such a fascinating place with many natural wonders I'd love to see - from the thermal baths at the Blue Lagoon to the iconic waterfalls, and of course, the magical Northern Lights!
