Detroit-based food photographer, home chef, wine aficionado and traveler.
Travel style
Food is the biggest motivator for me when it comes to travel. Handmade pasta in Northern Italy? Done. Fresh caught Calamari in Greece, while seaside? You betcha. With a background working in food and wine, alongside being a photographer, you can be sure a trip with me is delicious and beautiful.

Nicole's reviews
From our first introductory phone call, Nicole has been a fantastic travel advisor for our honeymoon to Greece. She not only is a frequent traveler herself, she had also been to Greece multiple times. She was informative, communicative and completely upfront about every little thing we might need to know for our trip. She asked all of the right questions to create our ideal itinerary, and even explained details that one might not consider (data plans using phones overseas, renting a car in Greece, etc.). She also answered all of my many questions! After our intro phone call, Nicole was always available via email and absolutely took the time to craft the trip to our liking, changing excursions to suit our needs when asked. Booking everything through one advisor also made payment so easy. We were able to pay one fee which covered our hotel stays (three different hotels, two in Athens and on Crete), our day excursions, and airport transfers (what a blessing!), and she even booked us a reservation at a fabulous restaurant in Athens on our last night. Nicole worked with a luxury excursion company on Crete and booked us three separate day trips, allowing us to leave our resort to explore other parts of the island. We were able to visit an olive oil factory, a winery, several beaches and multiple historical sites. Nicole also assisted in choosing our flights. Nicole worked with our budget, making adjustments as needed, and when all was said and done, our 10-day trip to Greece was phenomenal and beyond our expectations. It was definitely a trip we will never forget. Both my husband and I cannot say enough kind words about Nicole. We absolutely recommend her as a travel advisor, and if we ever plan an international trip in the future we will be contacting Nicole again.
