About Us

Nicole a.k.a “Nikki” is a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, Air Force Veteran, and a certified wedding planner.  ANSE began as an online social community where like-minded individuals could meet up and go to brunch, theater events, and even occasionally travel when their "maybe next time" friends couldn't go. It eventually expanded into a travel agency 16 ago.

Nicole’s greatest reward is hearing about all the first-time passport stamps from participating in one of the ANSE travel experiences.   Nicole loves travel and what it stands for; giving others a glimpse into places that they may have overlooked on their own. No matter what level you are in your travel journey, Nicole wanted the experience to be more than simply going online and traveling with a bunch of strangers. She wanted to create memories and lifetime bonds between members. Her favorite event to plan is her annual Mystery Trip Event….which each year has a waiting list. And of course, destination wedding are always so much fun. 

With so many people afraid to leave their comfort zones, Nicole found it important to transform the narrative of so many skeptics by inviting members on hosted trips around the world. In addition to knowing they wouldn’t have to travel alone, there are also pre-vacation events to help members become acclimated with their fellow travelers.

In addition to being a certified travel agent (CTA) with The Travel Institute, Nicole spent over 6 years in the wedding industry as a certified wedding & event planner. This gives us a bit of an edge when it comes to coordinating large group events.

When Nicole isn't planning your next adventure, she is training new agents (ICs) who are wanting to get into the industry and start their own business.
