Talley Your Adventure – The Blog

Adventure Awaits!

At Talley Your Adventure, we don’t just plan luxury and culturally rich travel experiences—we live and breathe them. Our blog, travelingtalleys.blog, is where we share the real stories behind our adventures: kayaking alongside glaciers in Alaska, exploring temples in Japan, chasing waterfalls in Iceland, and wandering through storybook towns in Germany. If it’s unforgettable, chances are we’ve done it—or we’re planning it next.

Nicolette brings deep experience in travel and heritage. With a Master’s in Public History, she’s worked as a Supervisory Park Ranger, Revenue Manager, and Program Analyst across multiple national parks for over a decade. Her career has taken her from managing interpretive boat tours in Alaska’s wild backcountry to overseeing large-scale visitor service projects with million-dollar budgets. And yes—she’s also a licensed 100-Ton Inland Master Boat Captain who’s led cultural and ecological tours from riverboats to remote beaches.

Clinton’s travel roots run just as deep. He’s worked in logistics and operations for the National Park Service and was a key member of the hospitality team aboard National Geographic Lindblad Expeditions. From managing guest services on remote international voyages to coordinating facility software systems stateside, he knows what it takes to deliver seamless, high-end travel experiences—even in the most unpredictable places.

Together, we created Talley Your Adventure to bring our experience, passion, and attention to detail to your travel planning. Whether it’s a fully curated group trip or a personalized vacation built just for you, we combine expert-level service with insider know-how—so you can focus on the magic of the journey.

the end…and the beginning!

Hello bloggers!

Today was my last day as the Digital Intern at the UALR Center for Arkansas History and Culture. Its been a great journey. I started as the graduate assistant for my first semester in graduate school and ended as the digital intern.

I have learned so much in only seven months span. I have to sincerely thank all of the archivists and of course Chad, the technology expert, for the educational experience as well as the applied experience. I can process a collection, use not only CONTENTdm but Archivist Toolkit, Handbrake, Audacity, and of course, WordPress. I have created the extensive beginnings of my digital exhibit for Carl Bailey, which brings me one MAJOR step closer to finishing my thesis. I have been able to digitize almost any type of media, from a reel-to-reel to VHS to DVD. I am confident I will take these experience and build upon them.

I hope to continue my collaboration with the UALR CAHC and with the digital team so I can become a better historian. I will be able to show the new generation the past, with their ever changing technology.

Starting in the fall, I will be at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library as their graduate assistant. I know that the great experience I have learned last semester and over the summer will help me with the tasks that fall before me and I cannot thank the people for helping me along the way.

Thank you Kaye, Colin, Shannon, Kimberly, Dr. Baldwin and Chad for a great experience. There are others who have helped me as well, and I do not mean to offend by not mentioning. I worked everyday with the above people and they have helped me in my career path. I will keep you in my correspondence.

Though I am ending one chapter of my career, I will be opening a new one in a few weeks. I cannot wait!!
