My Story
I'm a passionate globetrotting medical physician associate that has traveled over 35 countries and counting who wants to combine all of my knowledge and expertise to help people travel smarter, safer and cheaper!
My Travel Style
Based in California, I've spent over a decade exploring the corners of the world — both solo and in groups — seeking out hidden wonders, authentic experiences and unforgettable bonds and adventures. My passion for travel started early, accompanying my mother, a flight attendant, on trips across the country as young as two years old! By my twenties, while pursuing my studies to become a Physician Associate (PA-C), I had little money, but unquenchable wanderlust. I mastered the art of budget-savvy travel, uncovering ways to see the world without sacrificing incredible experiences! Through my journeys, I've navigated roads less-traveled, discovered extraordinary destinations and learned what it truly means to immerse yourself beyond the Horizon! Now, I'm dedicated to helping you do the same! As your Fora Travel Advisor, I'll curate personalized itineraries tailored to your needs and take you beyond the guidebooks, beyond the tourist traps and into the heart of each world. I'll provide you with detailed guides that will help you travel smarter, safer and more meaningfully!

Nick’s assistance in planning and booking our trip to Mexico City exceeded our expectations. He searched for hotels that offered everything we were looking for and we could not have been happier with our decision to have him book the Historico Central Hotel in Mexico City. We had a minor glitch at check-in which Nick expeditiously resolved with a single phone call. We will definitely have Nick assists us in all our future travel planning.

I recently engaged Nick Pena to help plan a getaway to the Poconos, and I’m delighted to share how exceptional the experience was from start to finish. From our very first call, Nick demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately set him apart. He took time to understand not just where I wanted to go, but why — whether I was after relaxation, adventure, scenic nature, or quaint local charm. He asked detailed questions about preferences (lodging style, activities, pace) and budget constraints, which reassured me that he was designing something for me, not applying a one-size-fits-all package. Throughout the planning process, Nick was impressively responsive. Anytime I had a question — no matter how small — he got back to me quickly, often with multiple options and clear trade-offs. When booking accommodations, he offered several curated suggestions (lakeside cabins, boutique inns, mountain lodges) and walked me through which ones balanced views, amenities, and value the best. What stood out was how Nick anticipated issues before they became problems. For example, he flagged potential seasonal weather impacts (rain, trail closures) and suggested backup indoor activities. He also quietly secured some extras — small local recommendations (restaurants, hidden nature walks), sometimes even negotiated minor perks like late check-outs or room upgrades where possible. Once we arrived in the Poconos, everything went smoothly. We had clear itineraries, reservations in hand, and a running reference sheet of “if you feel like doing X or Y today” — flexible but well-guided. Because he had built in buffer time and local insight, we never felt rushed or second-guessing ourselves. He even followed up mid-trip to check that things were going well and adjust as needed.

Nick was a pleasure to work with — professional, responsive, and truly passionate about travel. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making the whole trip seamless and well-organized. With Nick’s help, I was able to just focus on and enjoy my trip, without having to stress about every little detail. I will definitely use his services again in the future!

Nick made the entire booking for the trip an easy experience. All the work was basically done for me. It makes the travel that much better without having to worry about the troubles of booking. Will for sure be booking in the future for other places.
