S. Nicole Brown
Founder & Travel Advisor
I’ve been creating experiences since I was young — planning parties at 12, full events by 14, and eventually the trips that shaped my love for travel. I didn’t take my first flight until twenty‑seven, but that moment sparked a joy and curiosity that never left.
Since 2006, friends, family, and travelers have trusted me to plan getaways, host wine weekends, organize meetups, and curate group adventures across the U.S. and beyond. Over time, I realized I wasn’t just planning trips — I was creating meaningful, stress‑free experiences that brought people together.
Today, I share that passion through curated journeys, wine experiences, couples escapes, and unforgettable cruises. Travel planning isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am.

What my clients are saying....
My two days in San Destin were unforgettable — the wine festival, the breathtaking beachfront resort, and Nicole’s flawless planning made everything effortless. She handled every detail with care, from flights and transportation to entertainment and our smooth return home. The Mother’s Day trip to Charlotte was just as special, with thoughtful logistics, fun activities, and a flexible itinerary that kept everyone included. Nicole’s heart, research, and dedication truly make every trip magical.
Kellie
Nicole planned an amazing trip to Charlotte from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, from the itinerary to the wineries, concert, and fun meet-ups for drinks. Nothing was overlooked, and everything flowed so seamlessly. I had such a great time! As someone who is usually the planner for my family, it was a gift to just show up, relax, and enjoy every moment. Traveling with Nicole is always a vibe!
Moya
Nicole has planned unforgettable mother‑son trips for us. She creates thoughtful, detailed itineraries complete with her own travel guides. One of my favorites was our trip to Indianapolis — a destination I never would’ve chosen on my own. We toured the Motor Speedway and even walked on the track, explored an incredible children’s museum, and enjoyed a local baseball game. Every moment was meaningful, fun, and beautifully planned. It was truly a memorable experience. Thank you, Nicole!
Mel
Nicole truly embodies the “Hostess with the Mostess.” 🥰 Every event she plans is thoughtful, seamless, and full of joy. Her themed gatherings are always creative, fun, and unforgettable. I’ve attended many of her events and one in‑state trip, and every experience has been exceptional — from the food to the people to the activities. Our Airbnb was spacious, comfortable, and reasonably priced, and the itinerary was packed with fun. I can’t wait for more trips with her.
Kay
Working with Nicole was seamless from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, every detail was organized, and our Virgin Voyages cruise to the Cayman Islands was truly unforgettable. I never had to worry about logistics — she handled everything with professionalism and care. What stood out most was how included she made everyone feel. From group activities to excursions, she ensured every guest enjoyed the full experience. The trip was stress‑free, well‑planned, and absolutely fun. I highly recommend Hand In Plan Travel.
Mimi
Your tips helped so much. Dropping our cases at 8 a.m. and getting bracelets early made embarkation effortless. A solid breakfast at Razzle Dazzle prepared us for Miami’s heat and traffic, and your reminder to book our disembarkation slot early was a lifesaver. Thanks again. Tracey
I’ve been traveling with Nicole for over 10 years now. She would always share the great travel, deals she found online. And after traveling with her, I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of work she puts into the research. Nicole makes everything effortless. She coordinates trips around convenience, like finding hotels centrally located to all the planned activities, which makes it easy to just go, relax and know that everything is already planned out. I recently cruised with her, and she made the experience amazing. She had multiple themed events besides those provided by the ship. Her itineraries show exactly what she’s doing, she always takes the time to include options for people who want to branch off and do their own thing. Nicole is personable and very easygoing. She has a great attitude and a sense of humor that makes it easy to talk to her and explain exactly what's needed out of a trip. Anytime I travel with Nicole, I know I’m leaving with great memories, a stress-free experience, and my wallet intact.
