Hi, I’m Nicky Balda! Are you looking for thrills?

I’ve been helping guests plan unforgettable Universal vacations for over five years as a travel advisor with Beacon & Burgundy Travel. My family and I are huge theme park fans—we live for the twists, turns, and adrenaline-pumping rides that only Universal can deliver. From racing through Hogwarts casting spells to escaping raptors on the VelociCoaster, or powering up with Super Mario, there’s nothing we love more than a day packed with adventure!

We can plan the ultimate experience at Universal Orlando Resort or Universal Studios Hollywood, including the perfect resort and everything you need to make your vacation epic.

I’ve sharpened my Universal expertise by attending a Universal Preferred Travel Advisor Symposium and countless familiarization trips to Universal Orlando. I’ve experienced the spine-tingling excitement of Halloween Horror Nights—so if you love scares, I’m your “ghoul!”—and the festive magic of Grinchmas, where I even met the Grinch himself.

Whether it’s your first Universal adventure or your tenth, I’ll make sure your trip is packed with thrills, magic, and memories you’ll never forget. Let’s turn your next Universal getaway into an adventure you’ll be talking about for years.
