About Me

Nicole Pensiero is a Philadelphia-based freelance travel writer.
She began her professional career as a Staff Writer with the Atlantic City (NJ) Press. She moved into a full-time career in public relations in the early 1990s, but continued to write on a freelance basis, building a portfolio of travel and entertainment stories via publications ranging from the Philadelphia Inquirer to the Chicago Tribune.
Over the past several years, Nicole has become a regular travel contributor to the South Jersey Times/NJ.com (14 million UVM), as well as with FollowSouthJersey.com, Washington Township Neighbors Magazine (Best Version Media), and the Gloucester City (NJ) News.
Nicole's domestic and international travel stories focus on "hidden gems" -- both in terms of cultural activities and dining options - when on the road. Recent travel stories by Nicole include: Cancun, the Catskills, Panama, Florida, London, Liverpool, Rio de Janiero, San Juan, PR; Curacao, Nassau and Bimini (Bahamas), San Diego, New Orleans, Quebec City, Nashville, the Hudson River Valley; Amsterdam; Branson, MO; and Spain.
