Travel Agent Planning Specialist
One of my favorite things about traveling is getting beyond the typical tourist attractions. I’ve visited countless museums, local diners, coffee shops, and dive bars. On the side I am a photographer, and I’ve spent 20+ years exploring America. I am always looking for those special places that give a destination its personality. I love finding the little-known restaurants with great food, the local favorite bar where you can meet new people or the perfect spot to watch the sunset.
I have extensive experience planning trips and complex travel itineraries. The best travel experiences aren’t always found in a guidebook. They’re often down a back road or in a quaint little town. Whether you’re thinking about a cross-country road trip, exploring America’s National Parks, visiting charming small towns, experiencing a big city, or simply finding the best places to eat/drink and explore, I bring experience and genuine excitement to every trip that I help to plan.
Lets get started!

Nick is the best!
Reviewed By MareBear - Los Angeles | Traveled to Seattle | Washington | USA
I've taken several road trips (east coast and pacific northwest) based on Nick's reccos/organization, and I would highly recommend him! He's very experienced and equally knowledgable on guidebook suggested sites, as well as the more off-the-beaten-path things to see and do that should not be missed. For instance, we would have missed the Museum of Pop Culture on our trip to Seattle if not for Nick's suggestion, and it was SO worth it.

My First Trip to the PNW — Goonies Magic
Ever since I was a kid, after watching The Goonies over and over again, I had wanted to visit Oregon. There was something about the magic of the movie, paired with the beautiful location and the idea that adventure could be hiding around every corner that stuck with me until I was an adult.
