Meet the Founders Behind Nomadtique

Where passion, curiosity, and a shared love of wandering beautifully come together.

Where passion, curiosity, and a shared love of wandering beautifully come together.

Some ideas arrive suddenly—like sunlight breaking through clouds. Others arrive softly, like a whisper you were always meant to hear.
For Summer and Chris, Nomadtique was both.

The idea came to life one warm evening in Italy, on a small balcony overlooking tiled rooftops, the scent of lemon trees drifting in from the courtyard below. The trip had been a dream—days spent wandering cobblestone streets, sharing gelato in hidden piazzas, discovering slow mornings, long dinners, and the kind of ease that makes life feel wide open.

It was there, with our glasses raised to yet another perfect sunset, that we realized something simple and powerful:

We wanted to help other people feel this way, too.

Not rushed.
Not overwhelmed.
Not scrolling for hours trying to piece together a perfect trip.

But cared for. Inspired.
And free to experience a destination in all its beauty.

That’s how Nomadtique began—on a trip that reminded us how meaningful travel can be when it’s crafted with intention.

A Journey Rooted in Shared Curiosity

We’ve always shared a love for wandering. Long before Italy, we spent years exploring the world—separately and together.

Summer’s Story

Summer’s passport has been well-loved for years. From living in Shanghai, Kampala, and Christchurch, to traveling through Southeast Asia, Oceania, East Africa, and Southern Africa, she has always chased experiences that stretch the mind and soften the heart. She built a career in public health as a nurse scientist, ran a water-sports business in the Florida Keys, and planned her own journeys with the care of a nurse, the mind of a researcher, and the eye of an artist.

Chris’s Story

Chris brought his own sense of adventure, warmth, and curiosity. With a career rooted in customer service and hospitality, he has an instinctive understanding of what makes people feel welcomed and taken care of. He’s the one who always asks the right questions, finds the local gems, and ensures every moment of a trip feels effortless.

Together, we discovered that our happiest memories were always tied to the same things:
new cultures, new flavors, new landscapes, new ways of seeing the world—and each other.

Travel was our love language long before it became our business.

The Moment Everything Clicked

That night in Italy, we realized something important:
We weren’t just good at planning travel.
We loved planning travel.

The hours researching boutique hotels? Joyful.
Mapping scenic routes? A thrill.
Finding the perfect wine bar down a quiet street? A calling.
Crafting itineraries that honored a place’s culture? Pure fulfillment.

We saw how our strengths complemented one another.
Summer brought deep global experience, design, and impeccable organization.
Chris brought warmth, customer care, and the intuition that turns a good trip into an extraordinary one.

And together, we wanted to help travelers do more than visit destinations—
we wanted them to experience them.

Slowly. Beautifully. Intentionally.
