About Me
Hi, I'm Natalia Story!
Yes, that is actually my last name — fitting, I know. Hence the name of the company: Epic Story Travels.
I honestly don't remember a time when I wasn't obsessed with travel. What started as a personal passion became a calling, and after years of trips across dozens of countries — from sipping wine on the edge of the Adriatic at sunset, to hearing a Christmas choir echo through a cathedral built in the 1400s, to having the best meal of my life at a family-owned farm in a remote rural village, to floating through Alaskan waters surrounded by glaciers and soaring eagles — I came to understand something deeply: the best trips aren't just vacations. They're the experiences that change you. The ones you never stop talking about, even years later.
That's what I want for every single client. Not just a good trip — an epic one.
I became a certified travel advisor because I wanted to take everything I've learned and put it to work for others. Today, I specialize in cruise travel, safari adventures, luxury experiences, and fully personalized itineraries that are built around how you like to travel. No cookie-cutter packages. No hours of research on your end. Just a seamless experience from the first conversation to the moment you get home.

A Few Fun Facts
Cruise Specialist
From river cruises to ultra-luxury ocean voyages — I know the cruise lines ships, itineraries, cabins, and excursions to book.
40+ Countries & Counting
I've traveled extensively across Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, and beyond — and I'm always adding to the list.
Based in Denver, CO
I live in beautiful Colorado, right next to the grandiose Rocky Mountains — but I love planning trips for clients around the world.
Lifelong Foodie
I absolutely love food, and many of my own travels revolve around my culinary adventures. I even run a local food blog and instagram called Colorado Bites.
Wine Travel Enthusiast
Napa, Willamette, Burgundy, Rioja, Mendoza — if there are vines involved, I've probably been there! I'm also WSET2 certified and constantly learning about wine.
Travel Blogger
I've been a writer much longer than I've been an advisor, so don't forget to check out my blog for first-hand destination guides and honest travel advice.
Client Stories
"We've booked several cruises through Natalia now, and every single one has been fantastic. She has a real knack for finding the perfect ship and itinerary for us — and thinking of every minor detail. The whole process is always seamless, she's incredibly responsive, and we board every time with nothing but excitement knowing every detail has been handled. We wouldn't book a cruise any other way."
Susan S.
"Natalia helped us plan what was the perfect vacation. She came back with several Caribbean options — including resorts we never would have found on our own. She handled everything, from flights with our airline of choice, to the resort, to airport transfers. As a working professional with zero time to research and coordinate all of this myself, having someone I could trust to just make it happen was invaluable. When we're ready to book our next trip, Natalia will be the first call we make."
