Betsy Ramsey

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2022

Hi there! I'm Betsy, a Cleveland, Ohio-based travel writer and the founder/chief content creator at NattyGal.com. Independent travel fills my soul! I enjoy sharing interesting destinations both domestically and abroad and I encourage readers to travel independently, with less logistical stress and more confidence, by sharing useful tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years. I provide itineraries, destination guides, and reviews that help travelers make the most of their time and experiences in both popular and lesser-known destinations. Cultural sites, historic properties, culinary events, and some outdoor/adventure pursuits are often featured in my stories.
