Description

Mauri! (Hello! in Kiribati aka Gilbertese) My name is Nikki and I've always been curious about other cultures, traditions, languages, & food. I love meeting new and different people and it amazes me how similar, yet different we humans can be.

I'm originally from Fiji, but ethnically I’m Kiribati (pronounced Kee ree bass). Fun fact about Kiribati: it's the only country in the world that’s in all 4 hemispheres! If you like learning about rare indigenous cultures, I can teach you about mine :)

I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family that values travel & appreciates different cultures, so I've lived all over Fiji & the US, and I've had the pleasure of living in the beautiful country of Georgia for 3 years collectively. I have traveled to 14 countries & counting. I can't wait to visit more!

As far as work history goes, I've done a little bit of everything, from working in the food industry to working on multi-million dollar jets & everything in between; like voice acting for a computer game (that was fun!). I'm in the process of online entrepreneurship, so I can be location independent, which will allow me the perfect opportunity to follow my passion for travel & cultural curiosity.

Please let me know if you have any questions & I'd love to set up a call on Facetime, Teams, or Whatsapp!

What else ...

Some random tidbits about me: I love to bake and banana bread is my specialty. My favorite part of flying is the turbulence. I love to sing obnoxiously loud, but out of respect for anyone who isn't my family, I refrain from doing so...
