Hi, I'm Nicole

I’m a passionate wildlife conservationist—and I believe that responsible travel has the power to save the planet. In my former career as a zookeeper, I had the great privilege of caring for some remarkable endangered creatures. Today, I help my clients see these creatures up close—and in doing so, reflect on their place in the world, and how they can help preserve it.

Nice to meet you!
