About
My name is Austin Nicholas, Founder and Director of Travel Out There, and I have a confession to make
.
I am having a passionate love affair with Latvia that began in 2003, during a reconnaissance mission to Riga for a football tour. Pre-Ryanair and Pre-EU membership the country was on the verge of great changes. An intoxicating and un-resistible energy seemed to flow through the city and its inhabitants, and soon enough I too had fallen victim to its seduction
.
Having accomplished a Graduate in Broadcasting from Leeds University and 3 years experience of working in Events Management, I decided to see what I could do with my experience in a new and 芒聙聹untapped芒聙聺 business environment.
Life in the UK seemed rather dull and predictable after flirting with the highly contagious 芒聙聹Baltic Bug芒聙聺. In my eyes, Latvia held seemingly endless opportunities, and with not much more than the clothes on my back and the 芒聙聹ever optimistic yet slightly over excitable芒聙聺 head on my shoulders, I fell headlong into the bosom of the Baltic.
It was a lack of reliable information available to visitors in Latvia at that time that gave me the inspiration to form what is still the philosophy behind Travel Out There to this very Day - helping visitors to 芒聙聹access the un-accessible芒聙聺 to ensure that they enjoy an experience that they want to tell the whole world about!

How did it go? In my work we often get similar requests. We take them out for a memroable experience like going husky sledding or bobsleighing and then pop the question. Adds to the moment!! Read More
