My Story
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 really made planning this trip as easy as possible. She gave us so many great options for hotel, excursions and even great dining suggestions. She also helped us book pretty much all of the things we chose to do, and it was just a seamless experience.

Nicole is simply amazing. She understands my needs when travel planning and considers all the different aspects such as pricing, amenities needed, location and safety which is reallly important to me as a solo female traveler.

Nicole makes planning just about anything so easy. She helped get all the information we needed for our stay, plus others and even figuring out if we wanted to do a block of room, etc for our wedding. She was able to get any answers I needed, followed up with the hotel and took care of any adjustments or cancellations on our behalf. She could not have done a better job or made this more stress free for us!

Nicole is thorough, intuitive and knowledgeable. She prepared our pre tour to Osaka castle with an excellent guide to match and satisfy my husband’s curiosity with history. Our Tokyo fish market tasting tour was an excellent way to learn the gamut of ingredients unique to Japanese cooking. This was Absolutely necessary to understand Japanese cuisine hence, culture. Another activity was a sumptuous culinary lunch highlighting pork from different areas and with just 8 maximum customers where food is prepped and cooked on site in front of us by a chef. This definitely satisfied not just our palate but it became a highlight we will remember forever. Nicole had carefully planned events she knew we will enjoy and cherish. We truly appreciate her attention to details that transcended these activities into amazing experiences. Thank you Nicole!

5 Days in London When It's Not Your First Visit
I just got back from a 5-day trip to London, which continues to be one of the most dynamic and interesting cities in the world. This was my third time here and it’s still like I'm barely scratching the surface. Each time I go, I find myself mixing in “traditional” tourist attractions with smaller local gems and day trips outside London too. I break down my trip to show you just how much you can do in five days as a visitor trying to feel more like a local, especially if you’re a foodie and history buff.
