Natalie Messelt
Operations Manager

Natalie blames her wanderlust on a globe-hopping Foreign Service hubby. Coming from advertising and marketing in Chicago (Go Cubs!), she transitioned to various opportunities, finding a new role every time they moved. She has experience in small grants administration in Zambia, property management in Gabon and consular work in Ethiopia and Nepal. While working as a logistics coordinator for a California tour operator, an itinerary she designed caught the attention of National Geographic.

Since joining TravelAble LLC in 2020, she has gained a depth of knowledge and specific insight into what it takes to grow a barrier-breaking accessible travel agency. She’s proud to be a part of providing valuable travel services to all who seek adventure. Ask Natalie about the TravelAble team, and she will say that it’s second to none, and led by THE best in the biz.

When not working on their Minnesota fixer-upper, some of her favorite pastimes are biking, beaching with the pup, and looking for reasons to grab her camera. However, Natalie enjoys anything that keeps her far away from organizing the mass of pictures, including 35mm film, from the last couple of decades of travels.
