Nick Tilley

Nick thrives on adventure and loves meeting new people and exploring new places. What started with family trips to England, France, and Canada (and a childhood obsession with Australia) led to a Semester Abroad in Sydney followed by a 3-year trip around the world. He spent a year living in New Zealand, 6 months backpacking through Southeast Asia, China and Nepal, a year in Australia and 4 months traveling through 11 countries in Africa. Talk about ‘adventure’- it. was. EPIC.

Broadening his experience with extended trips through South America and Europe, his interest in exploring and adventure set him on a path toward the Adventure Travel industry.

Nick met Joe in 2018 while working at REI in St. Louis and got involved with F4A soon after. Since then, he has guided such trips as Patagonia, Alaska, the Tour du Mont Blanc, Costa Rica, Mallorca (hiking), the Grand Canyon, Grenada (scuba), Switzerland- to name just a few… Along with his role at F4A, he also enjoys writing articles for a local outdoor/adventure magazine.

Nick’s affinity for adventure is rivaled only by his enthusiasm for encouraging and empowering others to get out of their comfort zones and pursue their own adventures. Sharing incredible experiences in epic places with awesome people is what he’s all about. He knows he is very fortunate to wake up every morning and get to do his Dream Job!
