Born in South Africa, Natasha moved to Canada in her 20s and settled just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia. This meant she was surrounded by an abundance of amazing natural beauty, interesting people from around the world to talk to, and a fair bit of rain. She’s always up for a good adventure, especially if it involves ‘stumbling upon’ movie/TV shoots, meandering through book & toy stores, or looking into paranormal phenomena.
