Licensed Jet-setter and Perpetual Expatriate Nicole has lived outside of the United States since 2006 and has no intentions of turning back. She most likely inherited her migrating spirit from her grandmother, who emigrated from Jamaica to America shortly after Nicole was born. Nicole prides herself on being a world traveler, already visiting 23 countries on 5 different continents. She currently resides in Berlin, Germany, a city quickly identified as her kindred spirit.
Since moving to Berlin, Nicole began vlogging and blogging as a means to maintain contact with family and friends around the globe. Today she is the woman behind nicoleisthenewblack.com, her personal travel and adventure blog. When not plotting her next adventure, Nicole can be found in her kitchen nurturing her reluctant domestic goddess. (She makes a great Red Velvet Cupcake)
Some of her most memorable cities have been Reykjavik, Istanbul, Sydney and Rabat. Her incurable wanderlust and insatiable curiosity has led her to unique experiences that range from taking local cooking classes, to snorkeling in the great barrier reef, to going off-roading on 4X4s. She’s also a sucker for most things pretty, and loves spending shorts stints in small designer hotels. Apart from travel, Nicole’s interests include natural hair care, plus size fashion, and crafting. Her youtube channel: Nicole is the New Black covers an array of topics and has a growing audience. You can also follow her on twitter @nicolenewblack

Hello there!
My name is Malte Zeeck, and I am with InterNations.org. I really enjoyed reading your fantastic blog! I think expats in Berlin and around the world could really gain some great insights [and have a few good laughs] on this page. The quality of the blog in general is very convincing, which is why I would love to feature you and your writing on the Recommended Blog on Berlin section on InterNations.org
Not only do we feature and link to your blog prominently; we also would like to hear from you directly in our questionnaire! We have also designed a link badge for your blog.
If you are interested, please feel free to contact me via email: maltezeeck@internations.org
Best,
Malte Zeeck
I want to be just like you when I grow up! I’ve just began reading your blog. I discovered your page via curlynikki.com. I was in Berlin this past April visiting my cousin and you’re definitely right. Didn’t see a single afro but mine. But at least I wasn’t stared at like I was in China or Japan
I love to travel as well but I haven’t explored as many places as you. I’ve been to China and Japan through study abroad opportunities, Germany and the Dominican Republic (every summer as a kid). If you don’t mind, can I ask you what your profession is? I’m exploring careers that will allow me enough time to travel or even include travel in the position.
I love your concept of living/experiencing like a local instead of a tourist in different countries. With that idea I usually try to learn some of the language before I visit a new place. Learning languages is my passion.
Thanks so much and I look forward to getting more acquanted with your blog. Right now I’m just playing catch up with everything I’ve missed!
Nicole please post more. You have such an awesome personality and so much to share with the world, especially those of us who don’t get to travel. Wishing you many more magical memories abroad
Hi Nicole!
I just wanted to let you know your blog is up for review on the Biz of Blogging FB page
Cheers!
Cristina
ah man, i totally missed it. i thought i removed it from the list :/ i’ll go look for comments but i doubt i got much feedback since i havent been very active. thanks!
Nicole great work with your blog. I have actually wondered about black women’s experiences in Asia, but I guess Europe is just as culturally undeveloped. Blogging seems to be the white persons domain. Thanks for sharing your travel stories and showing us the other side of the picture.
Nicole,
Do It While You’re Young is an up and coming travel company focused on encouraging young women to pursue their dreams in travel while maintaining a successful professional life. We got a great response to the article “Ten Women Who Will Teach You How to Kick Ass at Travel and Life” in which you were featured on our website. (The article can be seen here: http://diwyy.com/women-who-kick-ass-at-travel/) Currently DIWYY is working on a travel professional interview series in which we’d absolutely love to interview you about your experiences and words of wisdom as a woman who has successfully incorporated travel into her professional life.
I look forward to being in touch!
Thank you,
Whitney Marshall, DIWYY Public Relations
