We were lucky to catch up with Natasha Kolombo recently and have shared our conversation below.
Natasha, appreciate you joining us today. Can you walk us through some of the key steps that allowed you move beyond an idea and actually launch?
From a very young age, I had always been enamored with the idea of creating my own brand in the world of adventure travel. The notion of sharing my passion for exploration and thrilling experiences with others was a dream that stirred my soul. My fascination with adventure travel was born out of countless childhood camping trips, hikes, and family adventures. As I grew older, my love for the outdoors deepened, and I began to embark on daring journeys to remote corners, seeking adrenaline-pumping escapades and moments of pure awe. The dream of creating my own adventure travel brand was not just about business for me; it was a way to connect people and express myself, to ignite a sense of adventure within me. The idea of building a brand that encompassed my lifestyle and values was a powerful motivator. Armed with a wealth of experience and knowledge of what would be the most comfortable, simple and timeless piece, I came up with “Wildkol” brand. The name itself embodied simplicity, timeless pieces for any outdoor enthusiast. Launching my brand was a long time coming. It is still in the process of perfecting every aspect of each clothing piece.
Natasha, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My name is Natasha, and I am an outdoor enthusiast based in Los Angeles, California. I had always dreamed of helping and inspiring people to get outdoors. I have started exploring the states nearly 4-5 years ago traveling in my overland vehicle, and that’s where I found the passion of just being outdoors. Whether you hike or drive to your next destination, one of the most important things is to feel comfortable, have proper gear for any weather conditions + have a simple clothing was so essential to me without screaming colors or unsuitable designs. That’s where the idea of creating my own clothing brand was born. Now, I am a proud owner of Wildkol brand, a home to the most comfortable t-shirts and hoodies for outdoor friends. I am beyond proud to creating what I love myself and influence other people to get outside and explore.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
Building my audience on social media wasn’t hard. I was lucky enough to have friends all over the world that have the same passion – outdoors. I try my best to help more people to get outdoors and explore more. My best advise – be present, authentic and honest about your love and passion.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My mission is simple. Explore. Travel. Have fun. Share and inspire people to do the same.
