Nicki Head- Independent Travel Advisor with Direct Travel

Nicki Head- Independent Travel Advisor with Direct Travel Agency specializing in honeymoons, family & wellness travel. I have two areas that I really love to sell, including all-inclusive resorts in the sunny south.

Even as a small town girl growing up in North Dakota, I was curious about travel and other people around the world. Today I am living that dream, helping my clients experience other cultures, climates and cuisines, and learning what a wonderful place this world is. What a relaxing way to spend a care-free week or two in Mexico’s blissful Riviera Maya near Cancun, in Jamaica or the Dominican Republ

ic to name just a few options. Now that the all-inclusive concept has become so popular there are so many resorts to choose from – but you can count on me to find the perfect one for you, whether it’s your honeymoon, a family getaway or a “just us two” couples vacation. I am also a big fan of European River Cruising. Imagine unpacking only once but experiencing multiple countries on one vacation. Docking in the heart of some of Europe’s most beloved cities and strolling into town. I personally love the sleek AMA ships and have not only experienced them but am an AMA Certified Counsellor. My clients tell me they love my eye for detail, my responsiveness, and that I truly care about their trip from beginning through to their return home. As I have been an advisor since 2011 I have made many great contacts in the travel industry and have wonderful, reliable resources to help me create your next experience. To my mind, travel is truly the best learning experience you can have and opens up your eyes, mind, and heart to the world and humanity. If this resonates with you, I hope you will trust your next experience to me!

It’s so easy to underestimate how many decisions go into planning a trip from start to finish. Maybe you’ve narrowed down your destination, but now you’re scrolling through hundreds of resort options, wondering, ‘how do I even choose?’

Here’s how I help my clients cut through the noise:

✨ Start with your priorities. Ask yourself: What’s most important for this trip? Is it an all-inclusive experience, being close to specific attractions, or having a kid-free vibe?

✨ Consider your must-haves. Think amenities: Swim-up bars, private plunge pools, or even family-friendly suites with plenty of space. Make a list of non-negotiables and let that guide your search.

✨ Think about the vibe. Do you want something relaxed and intimate, or lively with lots of activities? The feel of the resort can make or break your trip.

✨ Lean on an expert. I recently helped a couple plan a last minute Bahamas cruise find the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. They skipped the overwhelm, and I handled the details.

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I can help you find that one perfect resort or itinerary that checks every box—and then some.

🌴✨ Paradise Perfected: Secrets Cap Cana Awaits You ✨🌴

Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa is an Adult only AAA Five Diamond paradise on the sugar-white sands of Juanillo Beach. The beach is stunning, the vibe is so chill—definitely not a party resort—and they truly put Luxe on the map for all-inclusives.

Speaking of Luxury, as my client, you’ll receive exclusive VIP treatment—not available to just anyone—including the ALG Luxe Amenity: a private in-room champagne breakfast, the perfect way to indulge in pure luxury.

Beyond this exclusive experience, you’ll enjoy:

✨ 25% off spa treatments for the ultimate relaxation

✨ A complimentary bottle of wine, rum, or tequila to kick off your stay in style

🏝 Secrets Cap Cana is truly a place where your stress melts away the second you step into your airport transfer—and it’s gone for good by the time you get that welcome drink in hand. The vibe is laid-back luxury at its best.

📅 Amazing rates are still available for this winter and early spring. Let’s make your dream vacation a reality!

Here’s the thing about booking a trip online through those big booking sites (Think Expedia, Booking.com, etc.)

You’re a number in a queue, a confirmation email in their system. There’s no one looking out for you, no one who knows what you actually want from your trip.

But when you book with me? You’re never just a transaction — you’re my priority.

I’ll make sure every detail is right, from the perfect room setup to ensuring you avoid surprise construction at your resort. And if something goes sideways, I’m here to handle it, so you don’t have to.

Because when it comes to such a special thing like travel, you deserve to be a priority — you deserve care, attention, and someone in your corner. That’s what I’m here for.

My clients got back from Barbados last week 🌊

Here is their review:

“We had a great time!!! We really enjoyed Barbados and the weather was great!! We loved all the resturant options at sandals too!! The resort wasn’t crazy busy til thursday/ friday. We loved the walkout room and we literally could be at the pool Or beach in less then 1 minute walk!! The lounge and the fast track at airport was amazing and the ladies were great!! Overall i think we would give it a 9.8 out 10. I am ready to go back!! Thanks again for planning everything!!! We really appreciate it! “

One of my clients is embracing one of the most underrated but very necessary travel hacks of all time!

It’s only January 11th and they are already booked and counting down the days to their trip to Germany & Austria taking in the Christmas markets later this year.

What’s that travel hack I’m talking about? I’m talking about planning early.

Planning early doesn’t just save you money — it saves you all the stress of last-minute scrambling and gives you first dibs on all the best hotels, rooms, activities, and tours.

✅ You’ll Score the best prices, hands down: Whether it’s flights, accommodations, or activities, booking early means locking in better rates and availability.

✅ You’ll get what you want: From popular river cruises in spring to prime spots during Europe’s summer festivals, the best experiences sell fast.

✅ Feel organized and excited: Mapping out your trips now means you’ll step into your vacation with the peace of mind knowing every detail is already taken care of.

My clients are going to enjoy every minute in Europe and all of the fun of counting down!

Want to be in countdown mode instead of scrambling mode too? Send me an email
( [email protected] ) and let’s start mapping out your 2025 adventures.

A couple friendly reminders:

Starting May 7, every American aged 18 or older traveling domestically must use a REAL ID instead of other driver's licenses or identification cards at airports. The REAL ID is an updated driver's license or ID card that meets federal security standards. (Of course, this could be forever delayed, however you should have one anyway!).

Starting January 8, Americans traveling to the U.K. must apply for the country's Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), a screening program. An ETA costs about $13 and is good for multiple entries into the U.K. for two years.

In May 2025, the European Union will implement its European Travel Information and Authorization System. Americans without a visa will need to apply through ETIAS and hold a passport to visit Europe.

It’s absolutely not too late to escape the cold but the clock is definitely ticking ⏰

I just booked clients in at Secrets Cap Cana and just in time to save them from a week of winter coats and the snow shoveling.

Now my clients the will be soaking up sun, sipping drinks and relaxing on the beach in Punta Cana.

And I’m handling all of the details like finding flights, matching them up to the right resorts, and booking accommodations, so their last minute trips will feel way less chaotic.
