About



Hi! I'm Niki and I love to travel! I've been traveling and riding planes across the country for as long as I can remember. 

When I was a child my family would move a lot. Mom wanted me to know my grandparents even though we may have lived in Alaska at the time so we would hop on a plane and visit every couple of weeks. I thought it was great fun! Because of that, I have become a travel pro... kinda. 


My first solo trip was when I was 16 when I went to my best friend's older sister's wedding. In all honesty, I was terrified I would get lost in the Minneapolis airport because I remembered it being so big. Now, I know that airport like the back of my hand and could probably move between the gates blindfolded.


My very first trip abroad was in 2012 when I went to Spain with my high school Spanish class. This trip is what really opened my eyes to the wonders of the world. I learned so much about the language, the culture and the people. I loved every moment of it!

My studies keep me busy, but thankfully I chose a career path that allows me to travel. Geology is something that can literally be done anywhere in the world and I plan on making the most of that.
