NICK VANNELLO · RINGMASTER

A familiar face
in an unfamiliar place.

I’ve spent more than 40 years helping people discover the world. My favorite part still isn’t the destination.

Nick Vannello, Ringmaster

THAT’S THE SENTENCE I’M HERE FOR.

“I can’t wait to do this again.”

It’s the traveler who starts out a little nervous. The person who’s never crossed an ocean, never navigated a foreign airport, or never imagined they’d feel comfortable exploring someplace entirely new.

I love taking the guesswork out of travel. The arrangements, the unfamiliar places, the little details that can make an exciting adventure feel intimidating—that’s where I come in.

My philosophy is simple: you should get to enjoy the journey. I’ll help you feel prepared for it.

Over the years I’ve traveled through more than 30 countries, visited all 50 states multiple times, and brought people together for everything from intimate getaways to European river cruises.

A life with a little more world in it.

My life with my partner, Bob, and our home in San Miguel de Allende have given me plenty of opportunities to be the person figuring out somewhere new. I know the difference that a warm welcome makes.

Being gay is part of my story, and creating places where people can feel comfortable being themselves has always mattered to me. Different people want different kinds of travel. They all deserve to feel welcome.

Three communities. One personal approach.

Three Ring Travel Group is the new home for my established travel communities and the next chapter of that experience. GoNaked Travel, Dorothy Travel, and Us and Away Travel each have their own people, personality, and reason to pack a suitcase.

With all three, you’ll usually deal directly with me. Bring your questions. I have four decades of experience, a few opinions, and a soft spot for helping tentative travelers discover that they can do this.
