Vancouver, BC, Canada

🌍 Exploring the World, One Budget-Flexible Adventure at a Time! 🌎 ❤️ I'm Nicole, a 20-something-year-old with an insatiable craving for travel. Born in the Philippines and raised in Saudi Arabia and Vancouver, I've embraced my identity as a third-culture kid. As a recent graduate, budget-friendly travel is my expertise, and I'm here to guide you on your own unforgettable journey. ✈️ Plotting my next adventure is practically second nature to me – there's nothing quite like the thrill of stepping onto an airplane, knowing another escapade awaits. From the bustling streets of New York to the charming villages of Asia, and the beaches of Mexico, I've left no stone unturned in my quest to experience the world's wonders. 🥗 Foodie at heart, I believe a destination's essence can be best captured through its flavours. A lover of tasty cuisines from around the globe, my travel adventures always include delicious culinary discoveries. 📸 Documenting my journey through photos and videos ha

All for budget travel and good eats 😋 I’ve been travelling solo since I was 18 years old! I love art, history, and good food. I’ve travelled to over 15 countries and 54 cities on a budget, with plenty more to come! Currently living in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 , but I have previously lived in La Spezia, Italy 🇮🇹 and therefore have travelled extensively through Italy - especially around Cinque Terre!

Hi, I'm Carli! I'm a travel lover living in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle to be exact. I'm always the planner for group trips finding the housing, flights, activities to create a basic travel itinerary. I also frequently travel for work so I'm regularly researching hotels, restaurants etc. Travel planning is truly one of my favorite activities. I've visited 36 states in the US and 23 countries with efforts to keep that tally growing! I've loved travel ever since I was a child and really love it all. Visiting the best museums in Europe? Absolutely! Relaxing on the beach for 5 days? let me pick up my next beach read! ATVing in the desert in Morocco? start your engines! My travel also varies from solo international travel to group travel with friends or colleagues, as well as travel with my 70+ year old mother. I'm here to help take the stress out of the trip so you can just enjoy it once you get there. You can hire me for: Consultation calls - Get your questions ans
