Hello Hello Hello!
Welcome to the world of Nattie & Hazel Nut.
I’m Nattie, a 30 something wine lover trying to get by in the world of carbs
while going gluten, dairy, and legume free. I have a love for fine wine with a hipster vibe, the smell of fresh snow, the feel of wind through the trees, and the taste of a good cup of coffee. I’m a born and raised Californian that has traveled and lived a lot of different places. My training and education has afforded me many experiences that helped shape me into the woman I am today.
Hazel Nut is an island dog that came to me by chance and has stuck by me ever since. I found her on the side of a mountain in a developing country
while I was away at school. Who would have known then that she would be my best friend and soul dog. If the way she came into my life is any indication of the adventures we would have together… then I should have known that life with the Nut would be anything BUT sane. We’ve had a whirlwind life so far. Moving from country to country, state to state as I work towards my degree and finish my training.
Together we are taking on life one adventure at a time. We enjoy going SUP 
(Stand Up Paddle boarding), playing in the snow, wine tasting, and enjoying all the Starbucks we can handle. This blog serves to document all of our experiences, both the good and the bad. I can only hope that our adventures motivate you to embark on your own!
