About Us

Nicole Smith
Co-founder & Head of Marketing
Mom, Traveler, and a Family Chiropractor

I was born and raised in the small town of Tewksbury, Massachusetts. I have lived in Connecticut, Atlanta, and Florida before moving to the beautiful beach town of Wilmington North Carolina where I live with my fiance, Mark, our son, Charlie, and our joyful husky, Keira.

My travel entrepreneur journey started after years of seeking out exploration, adventure, and new cultures. I began solo-traveling overseas at the age of 17 where I have been to 27 countries and counting. This love for travel began as a child as I was blessed with a grandmother and mother from Portugal who frequently brought my sister, myself, and our
cousins back to experience their roots. I developed my career as a prenatal and family chiropractor, but my love for travel remained strong. Every three months between studies I would travel internationally. Upon graduation from Chiropractic school, I began attending chiropractic mission trips to countries such as Mexico, Peru, and Haiti.

Mark and I’s love began with an exploratory trip to Lake Tahoe, California, and currently being an active military family we have the gift of moving to and exploring new states and territories as a family. When Mark and I found out we were pregnant with Charlie, we agreed to not give up our love for travel and to instead take our family with us. We started our family travel journey by taking a “baby moon” to Puerto Rico at 34 weeks gestation and planning to take Charlie to Portugal at just 4 months old. During the travel planning process, my mother and I decided it was time for us to finally launch our dream of running a travel agency to help support families, friends, and individuals in having extraordinary life experiences.

Grandmother, Explorer, & Group Travel Advocate

Hi, I’m Marie. I was born in Madeira, Portugal but I have also lived in the beautiful South Africa! In 1987, I moved to the United states where I met my husband, Robert, and we had two beautiful baby girls, Ashley and Nicole. Robert and I both love to experience new places and
cultures so we began traveling around the United States and Internationally with our daughters while they were young. Ashley took her first trip to Portugal with us when she was only one year old! We then made it our familial promise to take at least one significant adventure a year with our girls. Personally, I have traveled to Italy, Ireland, Aruba, multiple destinations in Mexico, St. Thomas, Portugal & the Azores, Bahamas, Canada, Jamaica, England, and all across the United States. I’d like to see Germany, Croatia, and Greece next! As you can see, I take special enjoyment in traveling to Europe, and I absolutely love booking group trips such as weddings, honeymoons, and friend-excursions.

When I am not working on a client’s trip, I am either traveling with friends or traveling to spend time with my beautiful grandchildren!
