About

Natalie Burgess, the founder of Ruled by Mercury, began her career in media, producing for iconic brands such as MTV, Food Network, and Rachael Ray.

With a knack for logistics and a deep passion for exploration, she launched Ruled by Mercury to help others plan their grand adventures. Natalie’s love for travel was sparked during a student exchange program in Skopje, Macedonia, and has grown through her extensive travels for business, pleasure, and spiritual growth.

When her parents and their friends retired, Natalie began planning their international trips, discovering an even deeper satisfaction in crafting unforgettable travel experiences for those she loves. This inspired her to take her planning expertise to a broader audience through Ruled by Mercury.
