I’m Nicole, and I've been based in Washington, D.C., for the past 10 years. My time here has seeded my love for travel and exploration. Whether it’s wandering through local art galleries, savoring new culinary experiences, or immersing myself in the unique culture of each destination, I believe that every place has a story to tell, and I’m here to help you discover it. One of my favorite ways to experience a new city is on foot. There’s something special about strolling through a neighborhood, stumbling upon hidden gems, and truly soaking in the essence of a place. My deep appreciation for art, culture, and food often makes me the go-to friend for restaurant recommendations, museum visits, and travel planning tips. While I'm currently a full-time Interior Architect - I take great joy in helping others plan their perfect trips. My insider knowledge of D.C. and my travel experiences ensure that I can offer personalized recommendations tailored to your trip needs and interests. Whether you’re looking for a unique dining spot, a neighborhood guide, or simply want some travel advice for exploring D.C., I’m here to make your journey unforgettable!

Hello! I’m Nicole! I’m a nomadic artist, writer, and photographer and have lived in Texas, Michigan, London, Hawaii, and now Virginia. I have travelled extensively through Europe, the US, and Mexico, and am the vacation planner and tour guide for everyone I know. I love everything about travel, and can not wait to share my favorite spots (especially my favorite places to eat!!) with you. All of my guides include restaurant recommendations, markets, museums, and must-see cultural and historical sites. I will also include notes on attractions that are, in my opinion, worth paying to experience, what you can save your money on and enjoy from the exterior, and what may be skipped all together. Take a look through my guides and get in touch with me for any custom planning services!

Hi! Welcome to my page, I'm so happy to have you here I am a well-seasoned traveler, thanks to my parents who took my and my sisters all over the world as kids✈️ Now that I'm married, I have passed on the travel itch to my husband, which leaves me constantly listening to his newest exotic travel plans🌏 I love to travel with a mix of planned activities so that I can make sure to visit all of my "must-sees", but also spontaneity so that I can truly enjoy the culture and lifestyle of the local land and people. I saw a great need in the travel industry for travel planners who were not affiliated with certain brands or were paid via commissions, which I think severely limits the possibilities for travelers. Because of my passion for travel, I decided to fill that need and am not here to serve all of your travel needs✨
