About
I used to say one of my hobbies was "planning vacations I'll never go on." Now, I can do that for you. New Yorker who left her heart in Paris with an incurable imagination.
Travel style
I'm a fearless solo traveler and encourage everyone I know to step out of their comfort zone and do the same. What I tell them is: "If not now, when?"
I like to strike a balance between modest luxury and budget-friendly where I can. Splurge on some things, but stay conservative on others.
On my trips, I like to sprinkle in some day tours and excursions to unique sites I might have not been able to reach on my own. Other days I spent wandering, getting lost and shopping (always. shopping.) In the evenings, I like to take myself out for dinner and try to chat up any locals or other new friends at the bars in town. You never know who you'll meet!

Nikki's reviews
Nikki listened to exactly what we wanted and she delivered in spades! The room and rate she got us were a sweet deal. We had a fabulous time in New Mexico and are thinking about returning next winter. I'm already working with her on another adventure in 2026!

Nikki went above and beyond to provide top notch recommendations and added benefits for this booking experience. I would absolutely use her for future bookings and have already referred her to several friends.

If it wasn’t for Nikki I would have never known about it. She went above and beyond to find me a hotel within my points program that was high level enough for me. I now trust her to find other hotels for me and my friends.
