Hello, I'm Nicole S.

Hi​,​ I'm Nic — an experience maker 👋✨​,​ book lover 📖​,​ crafter 🎨​,​ and intrepid traveller 🧳. Melbourne is my home​,​ and I’ve long loved exploring its architecture​,​ culture​,​ flavour and layered history. I still find something new every time I look up - and usually something worth tasting along the way. Designing and leading walking tours brings me real joy: discovery​,​ storytelling​,​ conversation and connection. I love the moment a place begins to click for someone - when a building​,​ a laneway​,​ a meal or a small overlooked detail suddenly becomes part of a bigger story. My passion for guiding is backed by a professional foundation in creating seamless experiences. Before channeling my love for local storytelling into walking tours​,​ I spent more than 15 years as an event professional and experience designer across Australia​,​ delivering major conferences​,​ community programs​,​ and corporate functions. Again and again​,​ I found myself drawn to the same thing: creating experiences that feel thoughtful​,​ seamless and quietly memorable. Travel has shaped me too. I’m rarely happier than wandering a city on foot - noticing the details​,​ finding the neighbourhood bakery​,​ taking the slower route simply because it looks interesting​,​ or lingering somewhere longer than planned because the atmosphere feels just right. If you’re a curious type like me​,​ let’s wander together. Why Wander With Me? 🗓️ 15+ Years of Experience Design: My extensive background managing large-scale events means your tour is thoughtfully planned​,​ seamlessly coordinated​,​ and completely effortless for you as a guest. 📍 Born & Bred Local Insight: As a lifelong Melburnian​,​ I don't just show you the landmarks—I share the layered history​,​ architectural secrets​,​ and authentic local flavours that only a true local knows. 📖 Storytelling with Heart: I focus on the small​,​ overlooked details that bring a city to life​,​ turning a simple walk into an engaging narrative full of discovery and genuine human connection. 🚶‍♀️ A Slower​,​ Thoughtful Pace: My tours are designed for the curious traveller​,​ offering a calm and curated experience that leaves room to linger​,​ notice the details​,​ and truly soak in the atmosphere.
