Nicki's Travel Newsletter
Welcome to Nicki’s almost weekly newsletter where I share travel deals, stories, current blogs – that will be more in depth of some of my travel videos you see online, travel finds I love, and more! (Follow me on Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Lemon8, and Instagram)!
Hello and Happy New Year!!
I hope everyone had a fun and festive end to the year.
So, I did spend both Christmas and New Years in London. I know I haven’t shared anything or even written about it yet, but I will. Promise. To be honest, I struggled at the front end of my trip because of the sheer amount of people in the city. Nothing could have prepared me for the masses. It was very overwhelming. I sat down and restructured my trip and booked some different things to do in an effort to avoid the crowds and the trip ended on a high note.
I promise to write about it and share videos/itineraries soon!
I’ve noticed a large uptick across channels from some of you all asking how to get into my line of work. I have been talking more about the freedom of working for myself, traveling as a career and getting paid to visit some of the most incredible places. I am not a travel agent - I work for myself. Best job in the world.
I already have an e-book that teaches you how to get into this work. It is very easy to understand and read. I also created an Instagram page that I will be sharing tips on (this of course will be for people who are already in the industry, or entering it and/or know social media). If you don’t already know what you are doing and are wanting to get paid to travel, highly recommend starting with my e-book —→ Learn to get paid to travel.
Upcoming Travel:
I just got home from London on personal vacation but I am back to work this week. I am leaving for my dream trip to Antarctica!! Going early to see Buenos Aires for a few days before that trip starts.
This is the most excited I have been about a trip in forever. This is completely new territory for me as I usually cover beach destinations. However, I know how much I love Alaska and gorgeous landscapes - I just know this is a trip of a lifetime.
Travel Deals:
Bali - this 8 night deal is back! When I shared it last year, y’all sold it out. It is packed with so many VIP perks.

Get Paid to Travel - if you are ready to leave the 9-5 and live a life of travel, my comprehensive e-book teaches everything! You will need to put in the work, but it has been the most rewarding career and business. I earn multiple 6 figures doing this as a career! If you buy this guide, it already has the Instagram Reels for travel creators as a bonus (which is the e-book below).
Instagram Reels for travel creators – this is my e-book I created teaching travel creators how to have success with reels, which is what Instagram is prioritizing now over in feed photos. I grew my own account to over 500K in just 2 years and 2 months and a new account over 120K in 30 days - same methods. I grew a client in the travel space to over 260,000 in a year and two months (said client is now over 360k+ in 1 year and 7 months)!
Edit your photos AND videos like me - I created presets awhile back and you can edit your photos and now videos. with easy 1 step presets. Super easy to download and use. Please note - Lightroom mobile now charges a fee to edit videos in their app.
