About
Travel and exploring the world is such a gift, and I'm so excited to help make the process fun, easy and inspiring each step of the way. Let's experience as much of the world as possible!
Travel style
Learning how to travel when times were lean made all the difference when planning travel when times are plentiful. Wonderful experiences can and should be had, no matter where you're at in life. Travel can be deeply spiritual or a totally frivolous jaunt — it's for you and the people along for the ride. I love planning trips and knowing the people taking them have enjoyed what was laid out in front of them but also that they had the freedom to explore and go with the flow, too. I look forward to helping people get what they want and more!

Nicole's reviews
It was a no brainer to trust Nicole in booking my vacation, since she is a previous colleague of mine. She not only understands what I was looking for, but also was able to navigate me in the right way. With 7 countries in the list and the time period, she was able to not only provide the best offers and rate, but the overall experience as well.

We had a wonderful experience working with Nicole on booking and coordinating our trip to Italy. She took the time to meet with us and understand our travel preferences and interests, and quickly turned that into recommendations for hotels, activities, and excursions that perfectly reflected what we had in mind. Nicole is a timely and clear communicator, and once everything was booked she checked in with us to make sure everything was as we envisioned. The digital itinerary tool she provided was well organized, updated, and easy to follow. She also provided useful tips and information that were very helpful in navigating a country we’d never been to before. For the past couple years my partner and I had been talking about visiting Italy but could never find the time to plan trip—Nicole was able to help us make it happen. We’re excited to work with her again in the future.

Nicole is the best of the best! She was super helpful and organized. We appreciated all that she did to make sure our trip went smoothly. We had a very ambitious itinerary for our very large group and she was able to make it seamless. We look forward to working with her again!
