Scratch & Roam with Natali

I am Natali, a maker from Ireland. I make things for a living and film the trips in between: China, Japan and wherever comes next. My husband and family turn up in the videos sometimes, and so does the work on the days I am not travelling.

The scratch card is the idea behind the name. A place stays hidden until you scratch it, and then it is all there. Every video opens that way, and the guides on this site are the parts I wish someone had written down for me before my first trip.

How the guides are made: I film the real screens and the real streets, check every rule against the official page on the day, and write the date on the guide. When a rule changes, the guide gets updated, not left to go stale.
