Picture

The salty sea air, the smell of lemons growing in gardens around the villages, fresh focaccia and croissants baking as you walk by bakeries, unique and colorful sights at every single turn. These are just a few of the things you'll experience while in the Cinque Terre.

​Enjoy an Italian coffee at a cafe while watching the hustle and bustle on the street, enjoy a glass of wine at a seaside bar, eat the freshest seafood, pasta and meats at 5 star restaurants. 


Join me in this jaw dropping place to hike,  eat amazing food, drink local wine and enjoy many other activities in a magical and authentic Italian village.
 

Explore these villages with people who know the areas to catch the best views, quiet moments and away from the tourist traps.


I fell in love with this village and the rest of Cinque Terre the very first time I traveled there.
I have returned time and again, have built beautiful friendships, and made Riomaggiore a home
away from home.  Now, I want to share that with others!


This is a very physical area with many stairs/hills/hikes so please be in decent shape to participate.
ONLY 6 SPOTS AVAILABLE SO GRAB YOURS NOW!

This area is VERY popular and accommodations will fill up FAST 
so secure your spot ASAP!

​But FIRST, who am I and why should you visit this location with ME?
Picture
A little about me. I am a portrait and lifestyle photographer in Massachusetts. I love the outdoors, being active, trying new experiences and foods and connecting with awesome people.

I love to travel and have made Riomaggiore in the Cinque Terre, my second home. Residents there now refer to me as "basically a local". My familiarity with the area and connections there give me an opportunity to show YOU this magical place in a way you wouldn't otherwise see it. Let's go off the beaten path and explore while still seeing some of the more popular locations as well! 

Cinque Terre offers so much more than most people end up experiencing. I still have yet to see every last bit of it and I've been traveling there for 9 years. Join me to enjoy it in a unique way and live like a local for your 7 days.

Here's what one of my last trip participants had to say...
​The moment the train exited the first dark tunnel and we were staring out over the vast sparkling sea, I knew we had been transported to another world. Nicole not only introduced us to the Cinque Terre, but led us on an exploratory journey of a truly incredible place. The history, people, terrain, and most certainly the food, were revealed piece by piece until we found ourselves utterly smitten. From the guided hikes through beautiful forests and along steep mountain-side vineyards, to the private cooking class with a chef in his hillside restaurant, to the day trip to bike around a medieval city, each experience was authentic and memorable. Every morning I had to pinch myself, wondering how one gets lucky enough to experience waking up in the harbor in a tiny Italian village, listening to the waves while enjoying a fresh cappuccino? But we make our own luck. Anyone considering this trip should not hesitate, as it will be one of the highlights they will remember forever. Thank you to Nicole for not keeping this amazing place to yourself, but instead deciding to share these experiences with the rest of us. 

I'm grateful for the beautiful photographs Nicole captured of my friend and I experiencing this place together. Unlike all of my selfies in front of European cathedrals, I now have photos with life in them, depicting our adventures and laughter. Having these photos makes leaving this magical place just a bit more tolerable, as we can look at them and truly recall the smell of the sea water, the warm Italian sun on our face, and the never-ending baskets of focaccia in our bellies. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and just the start of a new love affair with the Cinque Terre.

It literally took plains, trains and automobiles to get us there, and the long day of travel made us weary. But then we thought, anywhere truly authentic should take a long time to get to. Then you know you're somewhere special.
