Hi there!

I’m Natalia Moreno Arroyo, a Spanish architect, travel photographer, and content creator behind @nat_wasthere.

I have a passion for boutique hotels and unique stays, capturing their essence through photography and storytelling. With a background in architecture, I love highlighting thoughtful design, atmosphere, and the details that make a place truly special.

My travels have taken me to over 30 countries, always with an eye for spaces that feel unique and inviting. While I specialize in hotels, I also enjoy discovering charming coffee shops, cozy wine bars, and unforgettable restaurants, those places that add character to every trip. On my blog, you’ll find carefully curated recommendations of spots I’ve personally visited and loved, many of which you can explore on my Google Maps list.

Currently based in Berlin, I’ve spent the past four years immersing myself in the city’s creative energy, discovering its hidden gems, and finding inspiration in its mix of history and modernity. Whether I’m capturing the ambiance of a beautifully designed space, planning my next trip, or sharing personalized travel recommendations, my goal is always the same: to connect people with places that leave a lasting impression.

If you’re here for inspiration, a collaboration, or just to share your favorite places, I’d love to connect. Let’s explore the world together!
