Nick Hofstadter - Upgr aded

Nick officially started his travel career in 2014 upon getting his Masters in Hospitality and Tourism from NYU, but travel was always part of his personal and professional development. A jetsetter from a young age, this native Angeleno has always been fascinated with airplanes, airports, hotels, world cuisines and foreign languages. He studied abroad seven times from high school through grad school, and saw travel intertwine with his previous careers as a lifestyle journalist and elite special events planner. When Nick returned to L.A after grad school, he immediately began working as a luxury travel designer for one of the city’s top agencies and now runs his own firm, Upgraded.
