Hi, I’m Tiyana Nicole—a traveler at heart, storyteller by nature, and your favorite “Ms. Out the Country.”

My journey with travel started young. My very first trip abroad was to Jamaica with my family, followed by Canada with my school in the 6th grade. Since then, I’ve been hooked on seeing the world and experiencing everything it has to offer. Today, I’ve explored 5 out of 7 continents, from solo adventures in Shanghai, China and Las Vegas, to unforgettable group trips with friends and family.

Outside of travel, I work in the human services field, where getting time off isn’t always easy—but I make it happen. Travel is my passion, my escape, and my reminder that there’s more to life than routine. I believe in creating time for yourself and truly living, no matter how busy life gets.

People often ask me: “How do you afford to travel so much?”
Here’s how I see it: We all work. We all pay bills. But after a few years, what do you really have to show besides rent, utilities, and receipts? Bills are permanent—they’ll never leave. That’s why I choose to invest in travel. Every flight I take, every city I explore, and every memory I create is proof of where my money—and my time—has gone. To me, that’s worth everything. The memories and experiences I create will last a lifetime.

For me, traveling isn’t just about crossing destinations off a list—it’s about living, stepping outside of comfort zones, and making sure that when I look back, I see more than just years passing by. I see stories, adventures, and a life well-traveled.

I don’t just travel—I live it. And now, I’m here to inspire others to do the same.
