At age 24, after a whirlwind trip around the world, Nick launched a travel agency specializing in around the world airfares. Today, Nick is an award-winning travel journalist and author of “Going Local – Experiences and Encounters on the Road.” He still calls San Francisco home, while also spending time in the Napa Valley, Greece and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
