about natali

Founded by travel educator Natali Martinez, Gutsy Quests specializes in transformative travel education for BIPOC women. Through thoughtfully designed group experiences, Gutsy Quests prioritizes personal transformation, intentional cultural connection, and a safe and welcoming community. Each experience creates a space to reconnect with the Self, engage each moment fully, and feel seen in the company of like-hearted women.

After taking her first solo trip in 2016, Natali made the courageous decision to leave her accounting career in 2019 and fully step into life as a full-time traveler and entrepreneur. Over the following three years, she transitioned from PTO-limited vacations into a journey of healing, empowerment, authenticity, and connection. “It’s the experience that brought me back to me,” she reflects.

With over nine years of solo travel across 20+ countries and having lived abroad, Natali now offers meaningful experiences for women to explore their inner and outer worlds with purpose and curiosity. Through Gutsy Quests, she invites women to embrace their own evolution and step boldly into who God created them to be.
