Nicolette "Nic" Costa

Your vacation should be a break from thinking, planning, and decision-making. I’m Nic, a travel planner with Extra Magic Trips, and I’m here to make that happen.

Travel should feel like a break before you even leave home. As a Vacation Planner with Extra Magic Trips, my goal is simple: to take the thinking, organizing, and decision fatigue off your plate so you can focus on enjoying every moment of your trip.

By day, I’m a professional project manager — which means planning, timelines, logistics, and details are quite literally my life. By night (and weekend), I channel that same passion into creating thoughtfully designed travel experiences where everything has been considered ahead of time. If you love the idea of a trip where you barely need to pull out your phone (except for photos!), you’re in the right place.

Adventure, Vacation… or Somewhere in Between

I believe every trip falls somewhere on a sliding scale:

• Adventure: packed days, exploring, activities, movement, and “we saw EVERYTHING”
  
• Vacation: relaxing, slow mornings, minimal planning, zero stress
  
• The Perfect Blend: a little adventure, a little relaxation — customized just for you

There’s no right answer, only what you need. My job is to help you figure out where you land on that scale and then build a trip that fits you perfectly.

Trips I Love to Create

While I enjoy planning all kinds of travel, I especially love crafting experiences for:

• Couples vacations & romantic getaways
• Adults-only trips
• Girls’ trips & bachelorette parties
• Travelers who want something beyond the oversaturated, cookie-cutter itineraries

I work with a wide variety of destinations and travel styles, focusing on creating meaningful, well-paced trips that feel seamless from start to finish.

Why Work With Me?

I may be newer to the travel planning industry, but planning itself is second nature to me. I’ve spent years booking and organizing trips for myself, family, and friends — and now I bring that same obsessive attention to detail to my travel guests.

When I plan your trip, I think through:

• Logistics you didn’t even know to ask about
• Timing, flow, and realistic pacing
• Backup plans and small details that make a big difference

You do enough thinking in your everyday life. Vacation is where that stops.

A Planning Style Built Around You

You’re always in control of your trip — I’m here as your advisor, organizer, and behind-the-scenes problem solver. Want to be hands-on? Great. Want to hand it all over and just show up? Also great. Most travel guests land somewhere in the middle, and I tailor my support accordingly.

Before and during your trip, I’m just a message away — ready with guidance, recommendations, and answers whenever you need them.
