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.

William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum

Wow, its been awhile!

It’s be a wonderful few weeks as the graduate assistant at the Clinton Library. Stephanie, a fellow student in a few classes with me this semester, is my partner in crime during the middle of the week when I am scheduled at the library.

This semester has been packed full of events and things right off the bat! I am taking Historical Methods, Digital Archival Conservation (with Chad and Shannon!) and Introduction to Public History. In addition to this, I also am the Co-President/Vice President (basically we both wanted to be President, but he graduates early so we made a deal to share the duties so we can both get the experience) of Phi Alpha Theta National History Association Iota-Zeta chapter (UALR’s chapter)!! I am planning on volunteering as the representative for the public history program at the next Graduate Student Association meeting – which is a lot like student government, but for graduate students. I hope to keep busy, but understand that to succeed in the history world I need to set myself apart. This included leadership opportunities, learning how to create a budget for a group of people, and continued education beyond my university.

As for the graduate assistance, that too has been great. Every day it seems like I learn something new. The stuff we do is right up my alley. Inventory, while it may sound boring and I’m sure eventually I’ll hit a wall, is actually kind of exciting when you find an interested and exciting artifact. This is a lot of the same stuff that I did while interning at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in their offsite location, so I get the process.

I should also mention that my article on Philip Kaplan was published on the Encyclopedia of Arkansas recently. Click on his name to view, and enjoy! It was awesome to be asked to write for them this past summer and I hope to be asked in the future.

Until next time, bloggers, keep checking back!
