Who is The Adventures of Nicole

The Adventures of Nicole is a female travel blog that focuses on off the beaten path destinations, founded in early 2015 by me, Nicole Smoot. For the last eleven years, I have been traveling the world, with visits back home to Alaska in between. Naturally with all that travel experience over time I’ve fallen into a passion for travel photography and a desire to help others get out to see what this world has to offer. That’s where the blog was born- at the persistence of a few friends who questioned why I wasn’t blogging about my adventures and sharing the knowledge I’d gained along the way with the world.

Why work with The Adventures of Nicole?

The Adventures of Nicole has been ranked as a top travel-Instagram account to follow in 2016 & 2017, and a top female travel Instagrammer in 2016. My writing & photography have been featured in a number of publications including National Geographic, Matador Network, Buzzfeed, and Thought Catalog. With each month, the traffic and social media growth of the Adventures of Nicole steadily increases, expanding my reach to an ever-diversifying audience.

I am ambitious to develop partnerships with destinations, brands, and services that rouse my and my audience’s interests. More and more travelers are utilizing the internet and particularly, travel blogs to help plan, research & organize trips, ease travel-related anxiety, and look for recommendations on where to visit, what to eat, where to stay & what travel gadgets to purchase. I am in a beneficial position to promote your destination, travel products, and services through The Adventures of Nicole and social media accounts.
