Who am I
Welcome to My World of Yoga, Travel, Creative Expression and Self-Discovery!
Hello! I'm Nicole, an eternal optimist and a believer in the goodness of people. My journey is one of happiness, discovery, and connection. From the vibrant streets of New York City to the serene mountains of Uganda, every place I visit transforms a part of me. For over 20 years, I've navigated the dynamic world of marketing, specializing in digital strategies and international communication in the corporate world as well as in the inspiring environment of open air theaters. This journey has not only sharpened my professional skills but also deeply influenced my approach to travel and personal growth.
Yoga and Dance: Expressions of a Joy- and Mindful Spirit
My yoga journey began in the heart of Barcelona in 2009, culminating in becoming a certified teacher a decade later. Specializing in therapeutic yoga, I'm passionate about the healing power of this ancient practice. Dance has been a constant in my life - from ballet in my childhood evolving through modern, jazz, and now cultural dances. When I'm not practicing yoga, you might find me enjoying West Coast Swing, Salsa, Bachata, or Linedance, embracing the joy of movement.
Culinary Explorations: A Vegan's Delight
Embracing veganism in 2019 and with over two decades as a vegetarian, I've developed a keen interest in discovering and veganizing traditional dishes, or discovering their naturally plant-based origins. Food is a gateway to culture, and I love unlocking it!
Travel: Beyond Borders, Into Hearts
My favorite destinations speak volumes about my love for culture, people, and nature. The warmth of the Ugandan people, Mexico's rich traditions, and the resilience of New York City hold special places in my heart. My mission is simple yet profound: meet new people, learn about diverse cultures, and grow through these experiences. In each destination, from bustling cities to tranquil nature spots, I seek out the essence of the place and its people.
Professional Strength: Blending Business Acumen with Creative Flair
In my 20-year career with B2B and B2C companies, I've led international teams, devised digital marketing strategies, and nurtured customer relationships across Europe. My experience in marketing and communication isn't just a career; it's a lens through which I view the world, seeking stories, connections, and insights in every experience.
Living Life to the Fullest: Embracing Every Moment
My life philosophy revolves around optimism, connection, and seizing the day. From zip-lining in South Africa despite a fear of heights to exploring over 50 countries, each moment is a story, an opportunity to learn, grow, and inspire. I live by the Ubuntu*-Philosophy and the "Carpe Diem" motto. My interests are as diverse as the countries I've visited – from music, dance, and cooking to horseback riding and hiking. I believe in embracing every sunrise and sunset, loving the moon, and cherishing nature in all its forms.
