My name is NikkiFayeTheWanderer.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⁣3 years ago, I started my journey as a Nomad. 🌍✈️🧳⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I left home not knowing what to expect....🤷🏾‍♀️⠀ I just wanted to explore the world and be completely free to do whatever I wanted to do.⠀ Words can't describe this amazing journey.⠀ 🔹I lived in Colombia🇨🇴⠀ 🔹I lived in Kenya🇰🇪⠀ 🔹I lived in Turkey🇹🇷⠀ 🔹I lived in S. Africa🇿🇦⠀ 🔹I lived in Bali🇮🇩⠀⠀ 🔹I⁣ traveled to over 50 countries 🌍✈️⠀ 🔹I ⁣launched my own businesses and brands💰⠀ 🔹I learned how to swim in Africa🏊🏽‍♀️⠀ 🔹I rode a scooter along Indonesia's coast🛵⠀ 🔹I ate some of the best food all over the world🥙🍤🍜⠀ 🔹I explored the most beautiful beaches in the world⛱️⠀ 🔹I watched the most amazing sunsets by boat⛵⠀ 🔹I went from a huge savings to having $2 in the bank and back a few times🔁⠀ 🔹I met amazing people all around the world👥⠀ 🔹I got fired from at least 4 online jobs🤦🏾‍♀️⠀ 🔹I Tindered in all 50 countries 👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏿👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏻👩🏿‍🤝‍👨🏼👩🏿‍🤝‍👨🏽⠀ 🔹I definitely collected some tattoos on my journey✍🏽⠀ 🔹I lost friends and found many new ones💏⠀ ...And these are just a few of the memories I've made.⠀ Even during the pandemic, I'm still abroad and loving it.

It's a TAKEOVER!!!⠀ ⠀ Today, I am taking over the IG of @tripsavvy. I'll be sharing my story and showing travelers a different side of Kenya. Many times when you hear about Kenya, or Africa as a whole, in the media it's all about poverty or the big 5. Being honest, all I knew about the continent of Africa before I arrived was starving children with big stomachs and flies swarming around their faces.⠀ ⠀ Now, I've learned that Africa is a beautiful place composed of 54 countries and people of varying backgrounds both rich and poor, and I want to show you what I see everyday. You've always been exposed to the poverty so today I'm going to show you the other side. ⠀ ⠀ I hope seeing the best parts of Kenya will get you excited about visiting the Motherland and experiencing everything that Kenya has to offer.⠀ ⠀ Karibu Kenya!!!⠀ ⠀ #sharethemic

As of today, there are over 300,000 cases of coronavirus in New York alone. So, I've made a decision to stay indoors so I am not at risk and not putting anyone else at risk. Let's get things back to normal again by doing our part. I am partnering with @NYGovCuomo, @partnership4nyc, and @DevitoVerdi to spread awareness and support staying home. #usastopthespread

Travel Changed My Life!!! That would be me in the photo modeling shoes and a necklace from my very own shoe & jewelry line that is for sale in retail. Travel has really taken me a long way. I've discovered so much about myself and my ability to do more than just work a job and rake in the profits for someone else. Four years ago, I was doing just that. I had a job that I enjoyed and was making a real difference, but what I really wanted was freedom. At the time, I thought having a job was the only way to make consistent income. It's actually really odd that I thought that because my parents were both entrepreneurs, but they had always told me to get a "good job." Well, what I discovered is that no job is a "good job." I mean how many people do you know have become millionaires from working a job whether good or not? My life completely changed, and I became truly free when I became a Travelpreneur. Since I started traveling full-time, I've started multiple successful businesses around the world, which I talk about in my latest YouTube video called, "Making Money While You Travel." Check it out, and let me know what you think. The link is in my bio.

Go girl, it's your birthday! Today's my birthday, and I'm celebrating no matter what happening in the world. Come and celebrate with me!!!! On this birthday, I'd like to gift you with the release of my new Youtube channel. Please subscribe and tune in weekly to get the scoop on my road to leaving Corporate America, failing big time and managing to find myself stuck abroad with $2 in my bank account to how I figured out a way to survive. This is how I learned about the world of free travel, and I will share that with you along with how I rose above all of that to become a successful travelpreneur. Thank you so much for your support. I'll see you over at YouTube! Tell me what you think about it after you've watched. See the link in my bio to tune in. Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!!

Kenya, my home away from home... My new home base of Kenya never disappoints. There's so much beauty lurking behind each new journey. My stay at @rockandseawatamu was nothing short of amazing. The service was stellar, food delicious, resort was beautiful, and the comraderie between guests made everything even better. All the guests were like my extended family since the resort is quite cute & cozy. Check out some of the hidden gems of Kenya! Diani, Watamu & Lamu Diani is a cool beach town with some fabulous resorts where you can relax, ride a camel on the beach, have some great food in their famous cave restaurant and enjoy a thriving nightlife. I think it's more of a one or two-night stay. **FAVORITE CITY ALERT** Watamu is an AMAZING beach town with excellent food, wonderful markets, and beautiful beaches where you can snorkel, go whale watching, take a boat out on the mangroves, and party all night at their famous beach party. If you're looking for a unique place to stay in Watamu, check out the Rock & Sea Resort and enjoy their panoramic bubble pod rooms. Lamu is a small island town where there are no cars and their only transportation is by donkey or dhows (boats). The dhow is a perfect sunset journey with a quick stop at the bar in the middle of the ocean. Lamu is a cute tourist spot, but I prefer to stay across the ocean on an island called Shela because the electricity and internet is a bit more reliable there because of the many backup generators. It's a fantastic spot to getaway. Lake Nukuru National Park If you're in town for a short period, and you want a safari outside of town, this park is great. They have all the big five animals plus flamingoes, which I love. Of course, if you have more time, Maasai Mara is a Must visit along with the Maasi Village so you can actually meet the Maasai people and learn how they live. There is so much more to do and see in Kenya, but this was my brief but still long version. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have or help you out with the best tour guides and drivers to take you on any of these excursions. Karibu Kenya @magicalkenya

A whole new way of doing life! If you had told me even five years ago that I would be able to travel full-time, I would have laughed at you. Quite frankly, even with a "good job," in Los Angeles, I was still living paycheck to paycheck. How could I possibly afford to quit my job and travel full-time? Well, that's exactly what I did because I got fed up living by someone else's rules. Life is too short to be denied unlimited vacations, to not enjoy long lunches and a cocktail if I want one, and to not have the ability to sit by the beach and watch the day pass. I was willing to give it all up even for just one year of freedom. I have to tell you, once I tasted a bit of that kind of freedom, there was no turning back. When I ran out of money, I got resourceful and figured out how to continue traveling with no money at all. It sounds so unreal, but I've been doing it for years. By the way, I started a global concierge company some years back, and it's very successful, and I still LOVE my free travel. I want to share my free travel secrets with you so you can stop feeling stuck and start enjoying life on your own terms. There are so many ways to go all over the world for free, and it's really important for me to let you in on it. So, I put together an e-guide with 8 different free travel opportunities. If you're interested in free travel or you just want to know how the heck I'm traveling for free, click the link in my bio and see what this world of free travel is all about.

Bali is one of my all time favorite destinations because of the amazing food and the sheer beauty of the country.  That’s why I teamed up with @KAYAK to give you a personalized Guide to my favorite restaurants in Bali. I would love to visit some of your favorite restaurants around the world too so you should definitely create your own Guide.  They’re a super fun way to have a place to send all your friends when they ask you what to do in your favorite city.

**TRAVEL DATING** **PART 2** Have you ever been in a long distance relationship? That's what dating abroad is like when you're a full-time traveler. When I first started traveling, people were asking all the time how I was going to find a man and settle down if I was always on the go. I didn't know, but I wasn't worried because I have always believed that you find love while doing what you love. I LOVE travel so I pursued it no matter how this may have affected my personal life. Back to Mr. Strip Club. So when I arrived in the next country, he called, much to my surprise. We chatted for a bit then he asked when our next date would be. Admittedly, I was a bit confused because he was clearly aware that I was on to the next country so I reminded him that I wouldn't be back in his country anytime soon. He then asked for permission to visit me in the country I was in. I had a good time so I figured, why not. When he came to visit, he stayed one weekend, and took me on three dates per day to make up for the time he would lose when we were apart. As I got to know him better, I discovered he owned a tech company and traveled often. From there, he made plans to meet me in the next four countries I visited. We dated for about six months, and I enjoyed every moment. What an adventure. This is travel dating. What I discovered was that I wasn't missing anything because I was traveling and not living what people call a "normal" life. Now, this next guy was even better than the last. Met him at a hotel restaurant in Africa. Now when people in America are rich, they're rich, but when people in Africa are rich, they're RICH RICH, and this man was RICH RICH. Now let me tell you the story of how we met, and our dating story. Actually, our time is up. I guess you'll have to stay tuned for my next post. Have you ever fallen love while on vacation? Tell me about it.

**TRAVEL DATING** ~~Part 1~~ As I've been sharing about all my travel adventures, I've mainly left out the part about my dating life, and that was definitely on purpose. But, for the next few posts, I'm doing a tell all so get ready. When I first started dating abroad, it was exciting because I love surprises, and I never knew what I'd get as I dated my way through country codes. The first guy I dated was so much fun. Our first date was a lovely dinner followed by a speakeasy then the strip club. By the time we left the club, I literally had 45 minutes to get to the airport, and it was 30 minutes away. I barely made my flight, but I had a ball so it was all good. We didn't make plans to meet after that because I was off to the next country, and that was just fine with me. Once I arrived in the next country, he called. I was surprised because what was he gonna do, fly to the country I was in and take me on a date? Well, he did. Stay tuned to see what happens next... Have you ever dated while traveling? What happened?

Have you ever had the feeling of being stuck? Stuck in your job, your city, your country? Raises 2 hands🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️ Well, I found a way to get unstuck about 3 years ago and started a life of doing what I wanted to do every single day. For me, that was full-time travel. Now I'm living the dream. I was in Santorini on a Tuesday, and I was thinking back to my 9-5 days. I decided then that I just can't keep these secrets to myself any longer so I created a full course to help you get unstuck too. For the past couple weeks, I've been filming videos for my upcoming #TravelpreneurAcademyCourse and it hasn't been easy, but I'm determined to get it done and out there because it's about YOU. I am taking all I've learned over the past 3 years of travel, and giving it to you so you can start living in your dreams too. So....what I need from you. If you've been wanting to travel full-time, and you think you can't because you don't have the money or anything else that's holding you back. Send me a DM now with your email address. I'll let you know when I open my #TravelpreneurAcademyCourse

What's holding you back from living the dream? * I remember when I had a normal 9-5, and I would be sitting at my desk and scrolling FB watching other people's travel journeys. * I assumed these people were just really rich or had trust funds. When I starting doing my own research and talking to others who lived the travel lifestyle, I realized that you didn't have to be a trust fund kid, have a book on the bestseller list or be a celebrity to make travel your everyday lifestyle. * The key is simply taking the skills you've learned and developed over the years and use it to find remote work, become an entrepreneur or to offer consulting in your area of expertise. I had no idea this was possible until I did it. I mean think about it. Your company is paying you upwards of 6 figures per year because they know what you have to offer. Now it's time for you to realize it. * While I know traveling full-time isn't everyone's passion, but whatever your dream may be is absolutely attainable. * I want to share my story with you of how I managed to execute my dreams of a full-time travel lifestyle in less than six months so I created a webinar to give you an inside look into my journey and walk you through the steps to take in order to start living your dreams. * The link is in my bio so sign up now for notifications about my webinar date. * In the meantime, I would love to know what your dream is. If you could do anything in the world right now, what would that be? And what's holding you back from doing just that?

I woke up like this... * Have you ever made a decision and had no clue how things would turn out but were pleasantly surprised by the results? * I walked away from my 9-5 three years ago and began my life of full-time travel. I have NEVER looked back. * Being honest, I was so afraid when I left my cushy 9-5. I went to work everyday, and my paycheck came every other week like clockwork. I was worried about what would happen when the paychecks stopped coming, and I was solely responsible for every dime that I made. * The unknown can be so scary, but here I am three years later, and I love my life. It's so much richer than the life I lived before. I'm still in love with travel, and I'm thriving in every area of my life. * Just to think, all of this started from just one decision. People thought I was crazy for doing this. They thought it was just a phase, but this is my life, and I love it. * I have had so many of you reach out to me and ask me how I did it, how I make money, how I save for my future. Stay tuned because I'm about to start dropping all of my secrets right here. * Before I start dropping my gems, I have one question for you: What's holding you back from living the life you love, living the dream? Ps. Don't forget to follow me @nikkifayethewanderer 😘 I love sharing all I know about full-time travel!

A Beautiful Day in Turkey.... As most of you noticed, I haven't shared much about my trip to Istanbul, and it's because I felt I could only share good days, but after much thought, I have decided to share my truth about Turkey. * If you feel being honest is being negative, then you may not want to read this post. * I've traveled to more than 50 countries, and the disrespect I have experienced in Turkey over the past 3 months has been over the top and something that has NEVER happened to me anywhere else in the world. * You see, I had become accustomed to the privilege that I have been afforded while traveling, simply because of the color of my passport. In Turkey, unfortunately, all they saw was the color of my skin. * To say the least, I am very disappointed. While I believe one can have an excellent experience as a tourist, staying long term isn't recommended because you are exposed to the real Turkey. * What I will say is that I met some amazing people while there especially my friends @msquitecontrary who made my experience great even in a bad situation and @journeywithjaneen who made sure I felt right at home and many others I met who made my time bearable. * Has anyone else had not so great experiences while traveling and you didn't feel comfortable sharing for fear of being attacked or for the sake of not being"negative"? Go ahead and share. This is a safe space ☺️

Russia has by far surpassed any of my expectations. It is a beautiful place with such rich history. * Did you know that Russia is the largest country in the world? For that reason alone, it should be on top of your bucket list. * Having heard so much about Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great, I have started researching them, and the drama is far better than that of any reality show on today. I'll tell you more about it as I dig deeper. * I'm heading to St. Petersburg today so I'll do a video final recap of Moscow, Suzdal, and Novgorod. Be sure to check out my stories because it's gonna be a goodie. * What countries have you visited that you weren't sure about initially and they surprised you by being amazing? #beintrepid #bestvacations #intrepidtravel #Russia #russiahistory #moscow #suzdal #novgorod
