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.

Day in the Life – Jennifer Wisniewski, Exhibit Specialist

20151209_113813 (1)Welcome back to another Day in the Life! We are nearing the end of my graduate assistance here at the Clinton Library, but before that happens we still have two wonderful people I need to talk about. Today, I interviewed Jennifer, who is the exhibit specialists. What is an exhibit specialists, you ask? Exhibit specialists here in NARA first and foremost work with anything exhibit related, such as exhibit building, maintenance, and exhibit mounting.  One of the unique things about the position here at the Clinton Library (relative to other presidential libraries), is the ability to work more with objects and items, or the collection itself. Since the Clinton Library has such a wide range of exhibits, this can be defined as installing Rockwell’s, researching objects, creating floor plans, or even, as Jennifer quotes, “troubleshooting animatronic dinosaurs”! You never know what the day will bring!

Growing up in Pittsburgh during her junior high and high school years, Jennifer loved going to museums. After receiving her undergraduate in International Studies with a French minor, she soon learned that you can earn an advanced degree to help you find work in museums. Jennifer

received her MA in Public History with a focus in Museum Curation from the University of California – Riverside. There, she also worked as an intern at the California Surf Museum and worked (either paid or un-paid, depending on the time!) at the Riverside Metropolitan Museum. Her first full time job out of graduate school was the Curator and Collections Manager at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. A favorite memory was when the maritime museum was doing an exhibit on surfing. Working with surfers, understanding their lingo and way of life, surfing etiquette, learning about the different surf boards, and in general their local connection to Santa Barbara is all intertwined in the experience!

20151209_114314The future looks great for Jennifer. Her love of museums and working with collections will no doubt propel her into her goal of becoming a Curator for a Presidential Library, or a head curator in the private sector. If you want to see some of her passion in real life, stop by the Clinton Library and see the new Coca Cola Exhibit that she helped to install! It could not have happened without her!

Until next time, bloggers! Have a great week!
