Mini bio
How it started.
Nicole left her first corporate job in May 2021 after feeling burned out during the pandemic. She wanted to see how far her savings could take her. She started Hu Travels the World and shared the journey on Instagram and TikTok, including backpacking Mexico, volunteering in Poland and trekking to Machu Picchu.
Finding her audience.
In a 2023 LinkedIn update, she reported reaching more than 90,000 people across Instagram and TikTok. She also described her first paid resort collaboration in Mexico and a move to Madrid to teach English at an elementary school.
Traveling together.
Solo travel introduced Nicole to people she wanted others to have the chance to meet. In her TrovaTrip interview, she describes welcoming both first-time international travelers and experienced backpackers on her group trips. Her blog pairs that community focus with practical routes and accommodation advice.
