Hey, I’m Helen 👋

I was that kid collecting maps and guidebooks to plot family road trips—a born travel planning nerd.

Fast forward to my decade+ career in media & entertainment—occasionally I had to build complex travel itineraries, and I discovered a knack for seamless planning, discovering off-the-radar gems, and considering little things that affect traveler well-being.

Word spread—soon friends and family were seeking my trip advice. Helping them experience better vacations was so delightful and rewarding, it planted the seed for Nicely Travel, where I now design fun vacations for all kinds of folks.
