Nicky has been in the travel industry for over 20 years, and her love for adventure started early – she took her first trip abroad at 17 and never looked back! She’s passionate about helping people turn their travel dreams into reality, whether it’s a bucket-list honeymoon or an unforgettable family getaway.

She’s an outgoing, bubbly, and positive person who loves what she does. When she’s not planning dream vacations, you’ll find her running, hiking, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. And of course – travelling!

Water sports in Mauritius, climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, wildlife at Nkomazi Game Reserve, and swimming in the Great Barrier Reef.

What is one place in Africa that's forever in your heart?

Holland. I spent a year there working as an au pair and fell in love with the people and the culture. I just love this country!
