Natalie Ramos

Growing up as the daughter of a German archaeologist mother and Filipino museum curator father, Natalie developed an early fascination with cultural artifacts and natural history. After burnout from her high-pressure counseling position at an international school in Berlin, she took a sabbatical to volunteer at archaeological sites in Jordan, discovering her talent for making ancient history accessible through storytelling. Now based in Darwin, she balances her school counselor role with extended breaks for budget-conscious exploration, specializing in combining archaeological tourism with wildlife experiences while demonstrating that meaningful travel doesn't require luxury accommodations.
