Partner with Dame Traveler

If you’re looking for a travel partnership that actually connects, this is it.

I’m Nastasia Yakoub, founder of Dame Traveler. I started it in 2014 after shifting from nursing into travel and photography following a life-changing injury. What began as something personal slowly grew into a space where women feel inspired to explore the world on their own terms.

Today, Dame Traveler reaches over 500,000 women around the world—people who aren’t just scrolling, but actively planning trips, saving places, and booking experiences they trust.

About Nastasia

I’ve traveled to 70+ countries, sharing destination guides, expert recommendations, and the kind of moments that go beyond just pretty photos.

In 2020, I published Dame Traveler: Live the Spirit of Adventure, a collection of stories and images from women around the world. My work has been featured in Travel + Leisure, Vogue, Fodor’s, and more.

I’m based in New York City and often between here and Cape Town, and I also run @lovelettertonewyorkcity—where I share local spots, everyday moments, and an authentic look into life in the city.

Dame Traveler has always been rooted in storytelling, trust, and a genuine love for experiencing the world and humanity in a deeper way and that’s exactly how I approach every partnership.
