About The Travel Tinker

You’ve come to the right place to read more About Us! I’ll start by saying this site isn’t about me…

It’s nice to meet you! I’m Nick from “The Travel Tinker”, Tinkering with ideas to fuel your next trip and offering Bespoke Itineraries!

I started to really get interested in travel back in 2007 when I visited Brazil and I was hooked! If you’re ever in Brazil make sure you visit the sloths! Cute!

As I have said, this website isn’t about me, it’s about all of you! I basically have created this website to help people create their own epic trip! I believe that it’s best to teach by example, and our ultimate goal at The Travel Tinker is to show that travel can be safe, easy, and a lot of fun.

Be sure to checkout the whole site, any issues please let me know. Enjoy, and thanks for visiting!

Also a special mention to my cousin, Tom! Who sometimes helps with the IT and inner workings of the website.

Wave to the drone!

I’ve been shipwrecked in South America, gone swimming in the blue waters of Caribbean, partied in Mexico, cheered on the European champions in Germany, snowboarded the Alps, and crawled through tight spaces in Budapest. I’ve even travelled to places as far-flung as Brazil to see the sloths, and quad biked the sand dunes of Tunisia.

I love to get away whenever possible, and when it comes to our trips I love to do the organising! 

Favourite destination: Iceland & Germany. From the moment I first set foot there, I felt at home. I love the culture and the rich history of Germany. Amazing Country!

First international trip as an adult:  Cuba! It made me fall in love with different destinations and started my obsession with travel

Favourite things to do on vacation: Take pictures, explore museums, and do the unusual (caving etc)

Weirdest place: Chernobyl! CRAZY CRAZY PLACE!

Dream trips: Antarctica , Safari, and South East Asia.

Place you’d return to again: Germany, Krakow, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland (just wow!)

Favourite meal you’ve eaten while travelling: Both of my favourite meals were Indian food! One in Prague and the other in Nuremberg. Outstanding!

Thing I love most about travel: Escaping the day to day life at home and having the freedom to make everyday exactly how you want it.

And that’s it! Be sure to checkout all our Destinations Page! Any questions just drop us a message!
