Unique Personalised Advice
I contacted Nikki to help me find a Muay Thai Camp in Thailand. There’s so much choice online and it’s difficult to figure out which camp is right for you! With Nikki’s help, I booked Battle Conquer Gym in an amazing off the beaten track location in Thailand. I had a terrific experience and everything from the training to the social vibe was really special. If you want expert guidance in finding unique experiences in Asia, I’d recommend getting in touch with these guys!

A Life Saver!
I messaged Nikki on WhatsApp looking for help with sustainable accommodation and jungle trekking in Bukit Lawang. She helped me find lovely last minute accommodation and put me in touch with the owners so I could organise my trek. She was an absolute gem and calmed my nerves about my solo backpacking trip in Indonesia. Nikki also suggested I join their Facebook group which was super helpful having a community of people sharing advice from their travels.
