About

Hey travelers, I’m Nicky, and welcome to my travel guide.

I am from the beautiful Caribbean island of Sint Maarten, I’ve been living in the Netherlands for over nine years. Moving from island life to a much bigger country has shaped the way I travel and view the world today.

For me, travel goes beyond relaxation and beautiful scenery. It is about understanding cultures, experiencing everyday life in different parts of the world, and seeing destinations from more than just a tourist perspective. From European countries to destinations like Uganda, each journey has added a new perspective to how I experience travel, and there is still much more to explore.
