More About

With two decades worth of experience across 70 countries, Natalia Cohen chose an unusual professional path.

She has worked as a tour leader for Imaginative Traveller and Tucan Travel, a consultant for Go2Africa, a Project Coordinator for Travellers Worldwide, and an Asia Operations Manager and Latin American Operations Manager again for Tucan Travel.

She also worked in management and social media management for a Saddani National Park safari eco-lodge.

Natalia has always loved a challenge, which is evident when you take her experiences across the globe working in the Super Yacht industry:

– Tracking gorillas and primates in Uganda and Rwanda

– Cultural exploration of India

– Photographer in the Med

– Expedition Crew on a Pacific crossing

– 800km walk across the Camino de Santiago

– Stewardess in the Balearic Islands

But her biggest challenge came in 2016, where she set two world records by becoming the first all-female team, and first fours, to row unsupported across the Pacific.

All in all, they rowed 9,000 miles from San Francisco in USA to Cairns in Australia, a voyage that took nine months.

In 2017, a documentary was released entitled Losing Sight of Shore; the film was about their oceanic odyssey and follows the extraordinary journey these women went on.
