Meet Niki Jean – Your Travel Queen & Retreat Host
Creating Soulful Travel Experiences That Bring People Together
​

Hi, I’m Niki Jean — a global adventurer, certified travel agent, Pilates and fitness instructor, and retreat host with a passion for connection and community.

Born in Canada to a South African father and a German mother, my love for travel began early, sparked by family road trips to Mexico and Florida. At just 8 years old, I felt a deep sense of belonging in Mexico — a feeling that would shape the rest of my life.

At 23, what was meant to be a one-month Spanish-learning trip to Mexico turned into a transformative seven-year journey through the country. I bartended in San Miguel de Allende, climbed the hospitality ladder in Los Cabos, and eventually landed my dream role as a Destination Host at Villas Del Mar, Palmilla.
 

Though I found success in real estate after returning to Canada, the pull of travel never left me. I eventually made my way through Southeast Asia and found myself in Bali — where I deepened my yoga practice, became immersed in Hot Pilates, and discovered my true calling: bringing people together through meaningful, shared travel experiences. It started with solo travelers — organizing dinners, group workouts, and local experiences that made people feel like they belonged. That spark evolved into something much bigger: transformative group retreats where people could travel solo, but never feel alone.
 

As a licensed travel agent and wellness retreat curator, I now host multiple retreats a year — from the lush jungles of Costa Rica to the turquoise waters of Greece. My offerings combine movement, mindfulness, cultural immersion, and a whole lot of fun — all designed to create genuine connection and lifelong memories.
 

Whether you're looking for a spontaneous weekend getaway or a full-blown international adventure, my goal is to make travel feel easy, inclusive, and inspiring.
