About Nicole
Hi, I’m Nicole! I’ve been traveling the world with my husband since 2017, when we first launched Freestyle Travelers as a cruise-focused resource. What started with sharing tips for cruise planning has now grown into exploring destinations far beyond the ocean.
Over the years, we’ve gathered stories, lessons, and insider knowledge from countless trips — and that’s where Best of Traveling comes in. This site is dedicated to destinations: where to go, what to see, and the little details that make each journey unforgettable.
Here, you’ll find itineraries, guides, and practical advice for every type of traveler — solo adventurers, couples, families, and women exploring the world on their own. My goal is to give you the tools and confidence to plan trips that feel both exciting and stress-free.
But this isn’t just about my perspective. Travel is richer when it’s shared, and I’d love to hear about your experiences, too. If you’ve been to a destination I write about, leave a comment with your favorite tips and recommendations so others can learn from your journey.
Thanks for following along — and here’s to many adventures ahead!
I believe travel doesn’t have to be complicated. I’m here to share insider tips, itineraries, and guides that make exploring the world easier, more meaningful, and a whole lot more fun.
