Travel style

Traveling internationally to Spain growing up, planning a month-long backpacking trip at 19 and living in London are a few ways travel has always been a part of my life. Whether my travels are in a small beach town or in city centers, I always strive to really immerse myself as a local.

Searching for hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path places is my specialty. I love a fully-booked, non-stop trip, but I also like to plan not to have plans. My trips tend to be budget-savvy with a hint of luxury. Great food and enjoying time in the sun with my favorite people are how I spend my travels.

Nicole's reviews

Nicole lined up transportation from the airport with an infant chair. Then during the checking process we were treaded as family providing us with drinks , setting up our restaurant reservations and gave us an explanation of all of their amenities . During our stay, all the staff called us by name and treated us like family. It was a great Christmas family gathering.

Nikki was great to work with on planning our visit to Germantown. She also made reservations for us at a great restaurant in Fredrick called Thatcher and Rye - Excellent!! Thank you Nikki - really enjoyed our stay. 😊

Nicole did great! She made it way easier to book and got us some great perks at our hotel. She also shared some of her research and experience in the area, which enhanced the whole experience. Nicole made us feel like we had the same inside knowledge as a local in the city.
