Hey! I'm Nicole! - Avocados in the Alpine

Nicole Jordan hiking and backpacking guide

~ backpacking guide ~ international trip leader ~writer ~ photographer ~ avid adventurer ~ guacamole connoisseur ~

With over 7 years of professional adventure guiding experience & over 10 years of international travel experience, here are my tips of the trade; from beginner backpacking advice to traveling to a local island in the Maldives, from hitchhiking through Patagonia as a solo woman to trekking in Bhutan’s Himalayas.

When I’m not guiding a trip, climbing a mountain, or traveling internationally, I’m relaxing in my luxury estate, (my Honda CRV), shopping at the local bargain grocery store, taking $5 showers at a nearby RV park, and camping on free public land. Just living my American Dream.
