VIDEO: MY JOURNEY THROUGH MOROCCO

Come take a journey with me and see Morocco through my eyes. I visited Marrakech, Chefchaouen, Casablanca, Essaouira, The Atlas Mountains, the Sahara desert, and more! I was there for around 3 weeks and really got a chance to dive into the Moroccan culture, and of course eats lots of Tagine! Big thank you to Travel Link Morocco for curating the trip and hosting me. If you are planning a trip to Morocco, I highly recommend working with Travel Link as they are the best travel agency in the country and can curate your dream itinerary. They also have the best tour guides! Shot by: Michael Moretti Special Thanks: Travel Link Morocco  

VIDEO: I TRAVELED TO THE MOST REMOTE PLACE ON EARTH: ANTARCTICA

My trip to Antarctica was the trip of a lifetime. I never thought it would be a place I would end up going to, so it felt absolutely surreal to be there. I felt so fortunate and grateful to experience it- it really felt like I stepped into another world- like I was on another planet. It’s so peaceful, and almost feels like you are on this spiritual journey, discovering new lands and new things about yourself while doing so. It’s not an easy trip by any means, crossing the Drake Passage I wouldn’t say was enjoyable or “fun”, but arriving in Antarctica makes it all worth it. I of course also had to do the signature “Antarctic Polar Plunge”- which I was surprised to see every person on board opted to do it too. I guess it’s one of those experiences you just had to do if you took that trek all the way to the edge of the earth. Big thank you to Albatros Expeditions for an incredible journey. I couldn’t recommend this …

FINDING THE BEST RENDANG IN PADANG, INDONESIA

Padang is a city in Indonesia often overlooked by tourists, but along with its stunning sunset beaches, it’s a culinary hub for traditional Indonesian food and the origin of the country’s national dishes…and in Indonesia, rendang is king. When I took my first bite of Rendang on the island of Siberut, little did I know that my life would never be the same. I had found my favorite chicken dish in the world. The complex and rich flavor of rendang had me speechless. Rendang is a spicy meat dish that is most similar to curry. The dish can be made with chicken or beef, and because the beef rendang is cooked longer for the meat to get extra tender, the sauce tastes a bit richer than the sauce for the chicken rendang. Lucky for me, I had a local and friend of mine, Erú take me to one of the best places to eat rendang in Padang! We ventured to Sari Reso for a great authentic Indonesian meal. Eating rendang is a “hands-on experience”, and …

MY FINAL HOME TOUR | BEFORE & AFTER

Hey guys! I know it’s  been awhile… I FINALLY got around to doing my “Final Home Tour”, and although it’s been 2.5 since I bought my house, I thought better late than never. It’s crazy how much of a process it is, and it’s still a work in progress. The design and feel of my home is inspired by my travels- I really tried to incorporate different elements that remind me of some of my favorite places in the world. I realized throughout this process that I really enjoy home design, renovations and architecture, and hope to expand more into this world. I really hope you enjoy this video and feel free to message me if you have any questions about my process or about any specific pieces! xo, Nicole

VIDEO: GUATEMALA VLOG

This was my first time visiting Guatemala! Some highlights: I stayed at Casa Palopo in Lake Atitlan and it was a dream. I also hiked an active volcano which was one of the coolest travel experiences of my life! I loved exploring the charming streets of the local town of Antigua, and I loved learning about the Pintando Project in Santa Catarina in Lake Atitlan. The project is such an amazing way to bring the community together and help with tourism. Guatemala is definitely a country that I want to visit again. Hope you like the VLOG! XO

SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE GUIDE

I have traveled to so many different parts of Mexico my entire life, but never had been to San Miguel De Allende. This colorful local town is a few hour drive from Mexico City, and when I got invited to experience it for the first time with Azaria Travel, I was excited for the opportunity. On another note, I am DYING to go to Mexico City and can’t believe I have never been! It’s such an amazing culinary city, and the foodie in me has been itching to go for years. It has an incredible street food scene as well which is very much my vibe. I was going to try and squeeze in a few days to Mexico City when I went to San Miguel, but I thought being in a big city during the pandemic might be risky so I ended up opting out. San Miguel had little to no cases when I went January of this year, and the small town went above and beyond safety measures to keep it that way. The …

FRENCH POLYNESIA TRIP 2 | FULL GUIDE CONT.

hi guys! After months of not traveling in 2020, I am excited to get back to writing travel guide posts for you after  getting back from my trip to French Polynesia for the second time. I wrote a pretty extensive guide on my first trip there, as well as 2 VLOGS in posts you can find here, but this time I visited some of the smaller & less visited islands that I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you on. I spent 23 days this time in French Polynesia, so lots of great info coming your way! I started my trip in Bora Bora and spent 9 days there. My trip to French Polynesia last time was 9 days TOTAL split amongst 3 different islands, so this time I got to spend some nice quality time in Bora Bora. I split my time between 4 different resorts: The Intercontinental Moana Resort & Spa, The Four Seasons Bora Bora, The Conrad Nui Bora Bora, and The Intercontinental Thalasso Resort & Spa. *I am not going …
