Meet The Nicole An Adventure Travel Blogger and The Owner of Travels & Wandering
About Nicole
Hello, I’m the founder of this adventure travel blog. I use any opportunity I can to travel or go exploring outdoors; whether thats short weekend trips or multi-destination adventures.
Rather than simply ticking places off the bucket list or snapping a picture. I enjoy exploring, having fun experiences or a bit of escapism.
I used to be a full time outdoor instructor (kayaking, canoeing, climbing and navigation) and have worked extensively in sports coaching, fitness and sports science in various locations around the world.
I use every opportunity to combine my career sport, health and leisure with travel.
I wear many hats in my career
I am the owner of travels and wandering where I share my favourite experiences as an adventure travel blogger. Here you will find many of my favourite adventure experiences rom around the world. I often work with external companies to promote their new experience packages, test adventure experiences, related products, review or work under freelance consultancy.
I volunteer as a area secretary for the north west area of the British Mountaineering Council (BMC). The british representative body for mountaineering, walking, climbing and ski mountaineering access.
I am also a brand ambassador for Mapo Tapo, the climbing holiday specialists, made for climbers, by climbers. They also offer ski mountaineering. And I am a brand ambassador for Soul Fire Co, which provide my favourite clothing to wear when climbing. You will see a few posts about my experiences as I give some of their different packages a try and feedback with honest reviews.
I am a lecturer in strength and conditioning; the research lead for mountaineering and outdoors; the coordinator for elite scholarship athletes, a strength and conditioning coach for elite scholar athletes, the lifestyle suport leader for elite scholarship athletes at the University of Central Lancashire. I also provide training or cover for the fitness team with Neilson Active Holidays.
I’m a lecturer by day, but a nomad at heart
I love to travel and I’ve been lucky enough to have lived in New Zealand and Greece, and have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Oceania and North America. I’m a writer and outdoor instructor who is a PhD candidate in rock climbing performance. I’m a strength and conditioning coach specialising in adventure sports and expedition preparation. I’ve been involved in the sports and leisure industry for 16 years, so I like to think that I know a thing or two about adventures sports and active travel. To see more about my extensive industry experience and my full qualifications in sport and leisure visit my coaching page Alphex Coaching or through my other business: Athlete Now – a sport directory connecting athletes to practitioners
