ABOUT
↡
Hey I’m Nicole! I have a thing for rarely visited destinations and breakaway territories. Which gave me the idea to start an off the beaten path travel blog.
Wanna learn about places you’ve probably never heard of? I’ll pack you up and take you with from Alaska to Antarctica, Tajikistan to Yemen, Transnistria to Nagorno-Karabakh to Karakalpakstan, and everywhere in between. And then I’ll show you how you can go to these places too and how to capture it all. When I’m not on the road you can usually find me getting lost somewhere in Alaska. You can read more about me here.
