"Nicole is an amazing and fun travel partner. She listened closely to what we wanted, made helpful suggestions, took care of the details (big and small) and gave us new ideas based on what she heard. She was available during the hiccups that are bound to happen with international travel and talked us through it. She is a delight to work with and I will use her again and again for all my travel needs."

"We hired Nicole to book us a romantic getaway to Greece. After a meeting where we discussed our budget, hotel style and services we desired, Nicole created a fully detailed, completely individualized itinerary for us to review. She completely nailed our travel style. Her attention to detail and connections with hotels, restaurants and local services provided us a personalized high end vacation we will not soon forget. We will be seeking her services for our next trip."

"I had preconceived notions before I traveled to Morocco but Nicole planned a trip that far exceeded any expectations I had. The trip combined elements of culture, adventure, and FUN into a jam-packed week. We experienced the warm hospitality of the Moroccan people, absolutely delicious varied cuisine, and incredibly beautiful and comfortable riads and hotels, even in the Sahara desert! My friends and I made memories that will last a lifetime and shared countless laughs along the way. Nicole smashed it with this trip!!"
