The first thing you should know about Natalie is that she lives with a ninja and a dinosaur. This comes in handy on their frequent family bike-rides (nobody messes with a ninja), or on trips out west, where the dinosaur has a few friends in the Badlands. Natalie and the ninja are light-complected, but amply freckled, because they love to play in the sun. Natalie and the dinosaur are big-time eaters, because Natalie runs and bikes and hikes, and, well, dinosaurs just eat a lot. The ninja and the dinosaur are 6-year-old twins, which makes Natalie your go-to person for planning Adventure and Family Vacations. It also makes her especially skilled in Resort/Spa getaways, as living with two 6-year-olds can make you dream of spas all the time. For a life-changing experience, she might suggest a visit to where her life-changed (Germany). For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, she might send you to a monastery in Taize, France, where she spent one long night eating white meatloaf in the infirmary. Seriously, ask her about it. And then sign up for her Pilates class, so you and your own dinosaur can eat a lot of meatloaf, with or without a ninja.
