Natours

Natours is a tour booking web app that I created as part of the [Node.js course on Udemy by Jonas Schmedtmann](https://www.udemy.com/course/nodejs-express-mongodb-bootcamp/). The app uses Node.js, Express and MongoDB to create a RESTful API and a dynamic website. The app also implements authentication, authorization, security, payments and email features.
