Hello!

Welcome to the adventures of this tiny lady! I’m Nickolai, a responsible traveller, an ethical explorer and a nature enthusiast who is always keen to wander.
My work has always taken me across the globe and sometimes to the most remote corners of the map. I love sharing my experiences and the joy travel brings me. Few things in life are more exciting and rewarding than travel so when I’m not travelling, I’m making the world we travel in a better place.
Based in Woking, United Kingdom, I work with WWF International as their Social Media and Online Communications Specialist. A vital part of my role is to get people to care about nature and this beautiful planet we call home. I believe that travel is for everyone, I hope what you read here encourages your own adventures big or small and when it does, remember to share the world’s beauty with others in your own li’l way.

Happy reading!
