Meet NICOLE

curator of immersive, high-touch travel experiences

Nicole grew up in New York City with parents who believed the best education came through travel. That early exposure, along with her time at an international school, sparked a lifelong love for exploring the world and connecting with different cultures.

From off-the-grid adventures to serene escapes in breathtaking settings, Nicole believes the best trips leave you changed – and she’s passionate about crafting travel that does exactly that.

ABOUT NICOLE


WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Since then, Nicole has wandered through the Andes, gone on safari in South Africa, crisscrossed India from north to south, and lived for a few unforgettable months in Thailand –where she discovered a deep appreciation for wellness travel. Her background in anthropology and history adds meaning to every journey, and she is especially drawn to experiences that blend luxury with a true sense of place.

Depth and Discovery

I love to live life like a Slim Aarons shoot, but if I had to name a person I’d say Jane Birkin and Brigette Bardot.

Style icon:

I normally make playlists for each trip I’m going on!

Song you listen to as the plane takes off:

I like to drink what’s local. But when in doubt a dirty martini.

Travel vice:

You can’t keep me away from a post flight massage to get the trip started right.

Taj Lake Palace Udaipur.

Favorite hotel:

Versailles for the fashion and opulence (17th Century), Ancient Egypt for the grandeur and architecture (18th dynasty), or Athens during the Golden Ages for the birth of Western culture.

If you could time travel, where (and when) would you go?

Go-to drink or cocktail:

It’s a tie between my first drive on safari and looking out from the top of Machu Picchu.

Favorite travel memory:

Paros, Greece, Goa, India, Koh Samui, Thailand.
