Natalie Katherine Ellis: The Girl Next Door with a Passport and a Broken Heart 🌍💔

Hi! I'm Natalie— your wanderlust-obsessed, sunshine-loving friend who has a suitcase full of stories and a heart that has been broken more times than I can count. ✨

I used to be that girl who believed in fairytale love. The kind where you meet in a Parisian cafe, lock eyes over a cute espresso, and just know. Spoiler: that didn’t happen. Instead, I got a guy who ghosted me after a whirlwind romance in Bali (after finding out his "soulmate" was really a wife back in Germany 🥴) and a Spanish musician who serenaded me, under the stars in Barcelona, before he "forgot" to tell me that he had three other girlfriends. 💃

But don't get me wrong, I did not let heartaches define me. I packed a bag, cried my way through a passport, and transformed my hurt into purpose. Now, I travel the world chasing sunsets, street food, and a love for myself that doesn't come with betrayal. 🌅

I get DMS from girls who are being lied to, cheated on, or just down-right lost. And I totally get it, because I was there too, sobbing into my hostel pillow wondering if I would ever trust again. But what I will tell you is that the world is a lot bigger than the boys who broke us. And I am here to prove it to you— one adventure, one laugh, one *"hell yes, I deserve better" at a time. 💪

So, if you want to heal through travel, laugh at my terrible dates, and maybe finally book that solo trip—lets be friends. ❤️‍🩹✈️

P.S. If you run into any of my exes, tell them I am too busy living my best life. 😘
