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.

#TalleyYourAdventure #TravelTips Dress smartly and enjoy the view!
Little Rock, Arkansas

Depending on the situation your clothes can play a big part in your day. Uniforms are common, but what I mean is more what you personally decide to wear on a day that you plan to hike or #GetOutdoors. Comfortably is key, but make sure it is smart!

Alaska is a cold environment, even in summer. But did you know that the mosquitoes are so thick and prevelent in the summer that it is hard to even breath in remote areas? When we worked in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge we experienced these high levels of mosquitoes and dressed appropriately. We even had screened masks so that we didn’t breath them in during our hikes – I am not kidding.

You’d think dressing in light clothes when visitin the desert is smart, but don’t be fooled. The sun is a killer in more ways than one. Not only could you burn your skin, but you could become easily dehydrated without proper clothing. Wear clothes with a protective sun screen layer. These types of clothes are usually light weight to begin with, and have the additional bonus of protecting your skin from the sun. Wearing a hat with a brim or a headband can help keep your face from burning and keep your internal temperature level. Don’t forget to wear socks and make sure they are the correct thickness.
