Although Nick Hofstadter formally began his travel career in 2014, in a way he had already been ensconced in the field his whole life. From a young age, Nick was fascinated by travel, hotels, aviation and food. While growing up, Nick traveled extensively with his family and enjoyed multiple study abroad experiences in high school, college and graduate school. Nick left his hometown of Los Angeles to attend journalism school at New York University, where he trained in both print and broadcast media. Upon receiving his BA, Nick stayed in New York and spent several years reporting on travel, food, nightlife, luxury services and weddings. Nick's work with the New York Magazine Wedding Guide ultimately led to a secondary career in special event planning and hospitality marketing, which inspired him to return to NYU and obtain a Master's in Hospitality and Tourism. He returned to Los Angeles upon completing his degree and officially began his career as a luxury travel specialist at All Star Travel Group, where he remained for five years until joining the Luxe family. Nick's favorite travel destination is Paris and when he isn't working or enjoying the many things he loves about Los Angeles, he can be found eating his way through the world's greatest cities and finding the closest spin studio to work it all off.
