After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in wildlife ecology and conservation, Natalya’s penchant for travel, community service, and pad thai guided her straight to Rustic Pathways programs in Thailand after graduation. After leading summer, groups, and gap programs for two years in Southeast Asia and India, Natalya now spends her time in the United States doing outreach with schools, and in Tanzania program managing. She loves hiking, camping, and tasting all of the local cuisines along the way.
