Hi, I'm Nicole! I'm 23, a solo traveler, and I've been to 45+ countries. I love the backpacker style of travel: you have time, you don't have money, and you're genuinely excited to go anywhere if it gets you closer to your next adventure

🌍 6 Continents
(Antarctica, I'm coming for you!)
🗺️ 45+ Countries
& counting...
✈️ 300+ Flights
...give or take a few red-eyes

I'm a software engineer at Microsoft, so building Detour Flights let me bring my two loves together — travel and software (Okay, three loves: travel, software, and saving money!)
