Natalie Keynton
New Pro
Lives in Berlin, Germany
🚀 Hey there, fellow explorers! I'm Natalie, the architect-turned-adventurer behind Walkabout Tours. One year ago, I bid farewell to my desk job to pursue my passion for history, food, and unraveling the architectural tales of cities. 🏦 Since then, I've proudly launched my own tour guiding business 👣 right here in Berlin, the incredible city I now call home. Why trust Walkabout Tours? Well, my journey from drafting blueprints to guiding city tours is fueled by a genuine love for history and design, coupled with a thirst for exploration. As a trained architect, I've honed the art of seeing cities through a different lens. 🔍 What's my travel style? Picture this: consuming as much delicious food as possible, then walking off all the calories by exploring nooks, crannies, side streets, and lesser-known spots. I thrive on uncovering the design gems and history nuggets that make a city pulse with life. Where can I help you plan? I work as a tour guide in Berlin, the gorgeous city I now call home, but I have previously lived for several years in Paris and Rotterdam. I grew up in Australia and have a lifetime's worth of knowledge about both Melbourne and Sydney! My promise to you: I am your local guide when it comes to crafting a unique and personalized experience. Let me create a guide, itinerary, or travel suggestions tailored to your desires to ensure your holiday is an unforgettable journey! 🌟 So, let's embark on a journey where every street is a chapter, and every skyline is a masterpiece. Join me, and let's make your Berlin adventure unforgettable! 🌍✨

Kayla Fedeson
Lives in New York, NY, USA
Hey there, I'm Kayla! I have lived in New York City for over 10 years and have been traveling the world for more than 15. Through solo travels, those with friends, and group tours, I know firsthand what places you need to see on a trip, as well as those that you should see and may have never heard of. I am a history nerd, nature junkie, and huge sports fan, so my ideal trip combines all three of these things. I love ancient sites and exploring as many around the world as I can, am trying to go to all 400+ United States National Park Sites and all 30 MLB stadiums, and travel every four years for the Women's World Cup. If you are looking for guidance on where to take a short break, longer break, or adventure, I am your go-to. I can make recommendations on where you should look, tell you all of the things you can do in your destination, as well as the things you cannot miss. As I develop this page further, I want to be a resource full of fun facts and personalized recommendations on what you should do and where you should go. I have traveled to 34 US states, plus DC and Puerto Rico, and 38 countries. I've been giving friends my extensive travel guides for free for years, so now it's my turn to share with you. Living off a credit card and minimum wage for the first year in NYC with a ton of curiosity, I had to find ways to do everything on the cheap. I went to pay-what-you-wish nights at museums, found free things to do, and still very rarely do I pay full price for a Broadway show (and if I do, I know how to save at least $10). I can tell you about a lot of fun expensive things, but if you are looking to travel on more of a budget (it's a cruel world out there), I can help with that too. Travel is my passion, but I love rock climbing, softball, running, & reading too.

Ben Andrew
Lives in Bangkok, Thailand
Sawasdee Krub 🙏 // A big hello from Thailand, the Land of a Thousand Smiles! 🇹🇭 Hey, I'm Benji! I've been living and working in the travel industry here in Thailand for the past six years now, and what a journey it's been! 🤯 Before settling in this beautiful country, I spent five years on the Gold Coast in Australia, also in the travel biz. Funny story—I actually arrived in Thailand by chance! I was on my way back to the UK from Australia after my visa expired (feeling pretty bummed about leaving), and I booked the longest layover I could find: two days in Bangkok. Thailand was never even on my radar before that. In fact, I didn’t even know where it was on the map! (Don't worry, I do now!) But those two days changed everything. I fell in love with the country, the people, and the incredible vibe here. Before I knew it, I landed a job that let me travel around Thailand and get paid to explore this amazing place. Fast forward five years—I had worked my way up to operations manager, but something was missing. I wanted a place to call home, instead of living out of a suitcase. So, I decided to put down some roots. Now, here I am, living in Bangkok for the past year and doing what I love most: creating unforgettable trips and itineraries that let you experience Thailand the way I did. Whether you're planning a "backpacker budget, hostel-hopping, living-your-best-life" kind of adventure or you're more into the "boujee 5-star, private guide, luxury travel" scene, I've got you covered. Or maybe you want a mix of both? No problem! Let me craft your Thailand Dream Itinerary and show you why this country stole my heart. 🇹🇭🔥😎

Going...
Lives in Chantilly, VA, USA
🌏 Solo travel, Culture enthusiast, English Teaching, Volunteer 🏕 Camping, Hiking, Roadtrips 🦋 Mindful travel, Budget-friendly Hello! My name is Izzy, I am DC based, and I have traveled to 14 countries + five continents in the last five years. My pursuit is to volunteer abroad, as it allows me to expand my horizons, gaining a profound insight into diverse cultures and their impact on our global community. Additionally, I find great pleasure in exploring various states within the US for my own personal enjoyment. (: Going... is meant to be filled in with the blanks of all of your travel desires! Where I am going and how I am doing it are frequent questions inquired of me from myself... but also by my family, friends, and co-workers.  I have a profound passion for mindful travel, where I wholeheartedly immerse myself in the local culture, while carefully considering country-specific requirements, managing my budget thoughtfully, and prioritizing the exploration of history, interactions with the local people, and appreciation of the natural beauty of the destination. My approach involves actively engaging with the people of my chosen location, as I am dedicated to savoring the essence of the country, city, and its inhabitants before bidding adieu. I gauge the success of my trips by whether I've enjoyed my accommodations, discovered amazing food (and coffee, of course!), engaged in meaningful interactions with locals, acquired new knowledge, and experienced a touch of nature's beauty. I decided to make this page to keep an online journal of my travels and to inspire others to make their leaps into their own adventures. The first steps are hard because you do not know what you don't know. I want to help you ask the right questions, prepare yourself emotionally & practically, and foster excitement in what is ahead! I would love to connect with you to help you meet your travel desires and curate the perfect trip!
