My Story
I'm a Los Angeles-based foodie, dog mom and travel lover who has been the go-to trip planner for friends and family! Growing up part of my life in Hong Kong before moving to California, I've always loved hopping on a plane and exploring the world around me. I can't wait to help you plan your next getaway!
My Travel Style
When traveling, I'm passionate about seeking the best local experiences and immersing myself in the cuisine. You can find me exploring unique neighborhoods, trying the best new restaurants, strolling the local food market or connecting with locals through authentic experiences. My goal is to curate the best memories for my clients when exploring a new place. I'm all about building an itinerary that is the perfect balance of budget-friendly and luxe options for activities, dining and accommodations.

Working with Nikki was an absolute pleasure! She made planning our trip to Rome and Barcelona so easy and efficient. From start to finish, everything was seamless, and her recommendations—from hotels to local experiences—were spot-on. We felt well taken care of and would happily work with her again!

Working with Nikki was an absolute dream! From the moment we connected, she got me so excited and confident about planning our honeymoon to Italy. Her passion and expertise, especially having honeymooned there herself, shined through in every recommendation.
Nikki helped us book everything quickly and efficiently before our wedding, handling all the details with ease during such a busy time. Thanks to her, we received incredible upgrades and thoughtful touches that made our honeymoon feel truly unique and unforgettable.
Her organized itinerary made our travel seamless, and what really set her apart was her availability and support during the trip itself, she even helped us with a last-minute extension and additional booking while we were abroad!
Nikki is the best person you could have in your corner when planning travel. Her insider knowledge, attention to detail and ability to curate amazing hotel stays made all the difference. I can’t recommend her enough!

My booking with Nikki is 100% what set the positive tone for our stay in Brussels. As soon as we checked-in, we were informed that our room had been upgraded and that was just the start of the magic that Nikki had incorporated to our stop in Brussels. When we entered our room, a note from Nikki and chocolates she had picked out were waiting for us (such thoughtful touch!). Knowing we had our toddler with us, Nikki also made sure that our hotel had a dedicated bed set up for her. Among other touches, we were able to enjoy the day spa and bar credits all because Nikki made it possible. In all, our experience booking with Nikki was by far the best decision we made for our trip. Thank you so much, Nikki!

Nikki was phenomenal! We are such last minute planners and she was there every step of the way making sure we were good to go and having the best time! She even did lots of last minuet bookings for us when we were on the trip! She recommended the best hotels, food and excursions and really went above and beyond to make sure our experience was easy and worry free! I don’t think I can take a trip without her from now on! Nikki really went above and beyond and I cannot thank her enough for making our trip so memorable! 🤍
