About
I used to say one of my hobbies was "planning vacations I'll never go on." Now, I can do that for you. New Yorker who left her heart in Paris with an incurable imagination.

Travel style
I'm a fearless solo traveler and encourage everyone I know to step out of their comfort zone and do the same. What I tell them is: "If not now, when?"
I like to strike a balance between modest luxury and budget-friendly where I can. Splurge on some things, but stay conservative on others.
On my trips, I like to sprinkle in some day tours and excursions to unique sites I might have not been able to reach on my own. Other days I spent wandering, getting lost and shopping (always. shopping.) In the evenings, I like to take myself out for dinner and try to chat up any locals or other new friends at the bars in town. You never know who you'll meet!

Nikki really understood what we wanted for our vacation and went all out to make sure it was perfect. She found us great places to stay within our budget and helped make our trip special.

If it wasn’t for Nikki I would have never known about it. She went above and beyond to find me a hotel within my points program that was high level enough for me. I now trust her to find other hotels for me and my friends.
