Built by doing it

TripLeader Academy was not built from a textbook. It was built from 50+ real trips, 200+ trained leaders, and years of hosting co-working experiences around the world.

Nico Estinto - Founder of TripLeader Academy

Ciao! I'm Nico

Founder of TripLeader Academy & Feel.Travel

I'm a lover of life, people, and interpersonal relationships coming from the south of Italy — Naples, where the real Pizza comes from. I'm a digital marketing manager working as a freelancer and owning a business online.

In the last years, a lot of things have changed. A big tornado came into my life showing me the total bruteness of life but also teaching me a lesson that I can never forget: TODAY YOU ARE HERE, TOMORROW YOU DON'T KNOW.

After everything was starting to fade, I began to breathe slowly, to look at the past trying to find advice, clues, and memories until I came to the most beautiful experience of my life: the Erasmus to Malaga in Spain. Here I discovered my crazy love for the new, for the different. Different cultures, different people, food, languages, experiences that shape you, that radically change you.

Those experiences where no day is like the one before!

I decided to take a few months off and travel! Living in different countries and collecting information, advice, and experiences living as a digital nomad, working in Home Office from anywhere with my feet in the sand and the constant smell of the sea.

After that, I felt reborn. From this experience I found many answers, I feel more aware, more confident, I see the world from another perspective, and more willing to want to do in my life only what makes me really happy — which is to TRAVEL, discover and fill my time with happy and memorable moments!

"I want to LIVE!"

Why I Started TripLeader Academy

That's why I have started traveling as Trip Leader planning trips for other people that want to escape from their daily routine, that need a recharge from their normal life, or also just want to move to another place and meet new like-minded people.

Since the first trip that I have planned, I never stopped. After every single trip, I always felt more adult, stronger, and more aware of being able to get in life whatever I want, I just need a very strong desire.

I don't want to waste time anymore procrastinating or following the "traditional structures". I want to use every day to create as many moments of joy as possible.
