What is a pop culture travel specialist?

A pop culture travel specialist is a travel professional who plans trips inspired by movies, TV shows, books, and video games. This includes visiting real filming locations, destinations that inspired fictional worlds, and creating themed itineraries for fans. As a pop culture travel specialist, I combine destination expertise with storytelling to create immersive, well-planned experiences.

What is pop culture travel?

Pop culture travel—also known as film location travel, literary travel, or fandom tourism—focuses on visiting real places connected to popular stories. This can include castles used in TV shows, cities featured in movies, or destinations that inspired famous authors and fictional worlds.

Do I have to be a hardcore fan to book a pop culture trip?

Not at all. Pop culture–inspired trips are great for casual fans, families, couples, and first-time travelers. Each itinerary is customized to your interests, pace, and travel style, whether you want a fully themed experience or just a few pop culture highlights built into a broader trip.

What destinations do you specialize in?

I specialize in destinations connected to pop culture, including locations featured in or inspiring fantasy, science fiction, and classic literature. This often includes Europe, the UK, and other international destinations, but I can plan pop culture–inspired trips worldwide.

Can you plan non–pop culture trips too?

Yes. While pop culture travel is my specialty, Nerdventures also plans family vacations, honeymoons, cruises, land tours, and milestone trips of all kinds. You’ll still benefit from the same customized planning and professional support.

Why should I use a travel agent instead of booking myself?

Working with a certified travel agent saves you time, reduces stress, and provides expert guidance. I handle research, logistics, and booking details, advocate for you if issues arise, and design trips that are thoughtfully planned—especially important for international and multi-stop itineraries.

How do I get started?

Getting started is easy. Simply send a message through the Create Your Own Adventure form and I’ll guide you through the next steps to start planning your custom trip.
