Nicole Parra - Travelstride Destination Expert

Adventure travel, cultural experiences, budget travel

Nicole was bitten by the travel bug at the young age of three. After visiting the Big Apple with her grandparents, she realized that it was necessary to visit as many places as possible.

A south Florida native who now lives in Austin, Texas, Nicole has visited, in addition to most States, Italy, Greece, France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Costa Rica, Colombia, the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada. She currently is setting her sights on Machu Picchu in Peru, Australia (to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef) and, Cappadocia, Turkey to ride a hot air balloon.

When not planning her next trip, you can find Nicole doing yoga, relaxing with friends or family, or cooking up a new dish.

Without a doubt, one of Nicole's favorite trips was backpacking Europe with her two best friends. There she danced with the locals, ate delicious food, and discovered that you don't need much to have a good time.

Returning to Honolulu after 14 years. Hopefully, this time learn how to surf!
