Nicole Loomis has a gift for bringing people together — and then taking them somewhere amazing. She founded Little Explorers Family Travel to do exactly that: create a space where families and groups could plan meaningful trips with someone who genuinely loves every part of the process. She specializes in group travel and thrives on the challenge of coordinating the moving parts that make a shared trip feel effortless for everyone involved. From multi-family vacations to milestone celebrations, she loves the logistics as much as the destination — the research, the planning tools, the perfectly timed itinerary that accounts for everything before anyone has to ask.
For Nicole, travel has always been about more than the places you go. It’s about what happens to you when you get there — the curiosity it sparks, the wonder it restores, and the way seeing something new has a way of opening you up in ways you didn’t expect. That belief was planted early by her dad, who made the family vacation a non-negotiable — and it’s shaped everything about how she approaches her work and the trips she creates for others.
Originally from New Jersey and now based in South Florida, Nicole lives with her husband, two kids, her Great Pyrenees, and a cat. She believes that travel is one of the best things a family can do together — that shared adventures build the kind of bonds that last long after the suitcases are unpacked. When she’s not planning someone’s next trip, you’ll find her with a good book, on her bike, around a campfire, or at a live concert — always with coffee somewhere nearby.
