Nikki Tomlin
Hi, I’m Nikki! For as long as I can remember I’ve had a camera in my hand documenting and creating with the world around me, and man has it taken me on a journey. From leaving my small midwest town to go to study photography in a big city to moving to NYC then Austria and back, I’ve lived 1000 lives all leading me to combining my passions into one big dream life; to travel the world with a camera in hand and share that experience with people to inspire them to live their dreams.
I am into just about any kind of traveling and adventure from cruises and luxury stays to the more frequent budget hostels, backpacking adventures, and road trips sleeping in a vehicle. However, what I have learned along the way is that none of those adventures mean anything without the people I meet along the way. Whether I am traveling with someone from the start of a trip or meeting them along the way, the power of human connection has inspired me to continue to see corners of the world I haven’t yet seen. So join me on my next adventure let’s take an unforgettable journey together!
