About Me

Virgin Voyage's Beach Club at Bimini, Bahamas
Virgin Voyage's Beach Club at Bimini, Bahamas

My passion for travel started at a young age and was fostered by annual family vacations. I've been through the majority of the US for both work and pleasure. I have been to several European and Caribbean countries; some multiple times. If I wasn't planning a trip for myself, then I was helping a friend or family member with theirs. I felt like I missed my calling. In January 2021, I launched Fun First Travel. With a love for all things travel and a desire to learn everything I can, I have achieved the CLIA Master Cruise Counsellor (MCC) designation. I have completed specialized training that makes me unique to assist you with all types of cruising: Ocean, River, Luxury, Small Ship, and Expedition.  I will work with you from the initial planning stages of your cruise vacation all the way up to the day you return home to ensure you have a stress free, relaxing time. 

 

 

 

Testimonials I've Received

"Nicole is knowledgeable, honest, caring, and wants to make sure people enjoy their vacations." Shelly B.

 

"Get you a travel agent! I used Nicole from Fun First Travel and she was great. It was perfect to have her set up the trip because she collected all the information for flights and travel from everyone, including payment. That way none of us was left holding the balance and she was keeping us on track before the trip. So gather your friends and family and go on a vacation. But if you don't want the headache of doing all the planning, get a travel agent. I recommend mine highly!" Candi M.

Hi Nicole, Thank you for all your help with planning our Alaska cruise aboard the Discovery Princess. From the very beginning, you made the entire process easy and stress-free.
