About Nichole – Travel Designed with Care & Coastal Warmth
As an Independent Agency Affiliated with WorldVia Travel Network, Cocoa Coastal Travel Company, believes travel should feel both exciting and effortless.
Founded by Nichole Fortson, a military dependent who grew up exploring the world, a former HR professional who knows how to truly listen, and a former Emergency Management professional trained to handle planning under pressure. I do not just plan your trip. I protect it. And the best part? My planning services come at no additional cost to you.
With 25 years of customer service and coordination experience, Nichole combines that passion with her personal interests – currently pursuing vocal training and re-learning French for a future Paris adventure. We design travel experiences that bring your passions to life, turning personal goals into meaningful, unforgettable journeys.
Whether you are checking off a bucket-list destination or planning a low-key escape, we turn dream vacations into real-life experiences, with a warm and welcoming touch, like a cozy cup of cocoa.

I would be happy to refer you to a colleague who specializes in cruises, larger group coordination or corporate travel.
Expert Guidance, Zero Stress
Why a Travel Advisor?
Skip the stress. Skip the hours of research.
Just show up and enjoy.
✨ What We Take Off Your Plate:
Planning a trip should be exciting, not exhausting.
Between comparing flights, reading endless reviews, and piecing together an itinerary that actually works for everyone, it can quickly feel like a second job.
A travel advisor takes all of that off your plate – so you can skip straight to the part where you are actually enjoying the trip.
At Cocoa Coastal Travel Company, we are paid through commissions by our supplier partners – which means you receive expert planning with no additional costs added to your trip.
Online booking sites such as Expedia or Booking.com are not picking up the phone when your flight gets cancelled or your hotel falls through. I am. That is the difference between booking alone and having a dedicated travel advisor by your side.
From your first inquiry to your return home, we handle the details.
All you have to do is show up.
