Hi, I’m Natalia, and I’m delighted you are here!

My story starts, what feels like a lifetime ago, as a Wedding Planner. With a front row
seat to love, and over 600 weddings later, I had learned so much about relationships,
red flags, must-haves and mishaps, that I felt I could write a book… so that’s kind of
what I did.

After almost a decade of dating and nearly one thousand first dates of my own, I
created the blog ‘Swipes and the City’, where I share candid stories, dating disasters
and lessons in love – notoriously with optimism, authenticity and a sense of humour.
In 2025, I became the resident dating guru on 107.1 SAFM, delivering real talk,
advice and laughs to listeners across Adelaide. Today, I offer an honest, entertaining
and hopeful perspective for anyone navigating the chaos of modern dating.
