Hi, I'm Natalie! I'm a photographer and content developer living in Seattle. In my spare time, I'm taking a lot of pictures and preparing to create a podcast with one of my best friends. I also enjoy reading, going to shows, crocheting, gardening, learning new crafts, and trying new things. I really love animals, especially cats and dogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling through Europe and hoping to save money while meeting new people!
