Travel Advisor - Wellness & Lifestyle Creator

I'm Demet Nicole, the travel advisor behind Pure Essence Getaways, a wellness and lifestyle creator, and a woman learning how to show up for herself in every season.

I share travel, fitness, and the real life in between as I work on getting stronger in the gym, growing my business, seeing more of the world, and enjoying the life I am creating along the way. If you can relate to any of this, you are in the right place.

A Few Things You'll Find Over Here

Travel tips and getaways worth making time for
Gym days, cardio, recovery, and laughs with my gym crew
Solo dates, time with my people, and real life in Las Vegas
The behind-the-scenes of balancing corporate life, business, and becoming the best version of myself


Ready to make a trip happen?

If you have been thinking about taking a trip but don't have the time, capacity, or desire to plan every detail, I can help.

Through Pure Essence Getaways, I create personalized travel experiences that fit your style, your season of life, and the way you want your trip to feel.


For Brand Partnerships, Work With Me 

I create UGC and creator partnerships for travel, fitness, wellness, and lifestyle brands that want polished content to still feel natural and relatable. You can expect clear communication, thoughtful ideas, and content that fits naturally into real life.

a little more of me

There is always something going on over here. Between corporate life, running a travel business, getting in the gym, spending time with my people, and trying to enjoy life along the way, I share the things that are part of my everyday world.


Travel

I am the travel advisor behind Pure Essence Getaways, and I love helping people turn "we need a trip" into a getaway that actually feels good from start to finish. 

Whether it is a couples trip, girls' getaway, family vacation, solo escape, or group trip, I share travel tips, destination inspiration, and the little details that can make a big difference in how your trip feels. 

Fitness & Wellness

My fitness journey started with a hard conversation with my doctor in 2025. Since then, I've lost more than 40 pounds, gotten stronger, and learned that showing up for myself looks different from day to day.

I'm learning that progress is not only about the number on the scale. It's also about taking better care of myself and being proud of what my body can do.

Lifestyle

I have spent more than 20 years building my career, and I am still building. But I am also learning that I do not have to wait for the next promotion, the next relationship, or the next big milestone to enjoy my life. 

From Las Vegas life and solo dates to friends, family, entrepreneurship, shopping, and the real-life experiences in between, this is where I share what life looks like beyond the travel plans and gym sessions.

A Dream Vacation

Our Hawaii vacation was a dream thanks to Demet. She planned every detail perfectly including personalized welcome notes, in-room birthday decorations for my granddaughter's sweet 16, and wheelchair assistance during an emergency. I highly recommend her thoughtful and expert service.

Some couples want a swim-up bar, music at the pool, nightlife, and plenty of energy around them. 

Other couples want quiet mornings, elevated dining, relaxed pool days, and time to truly unplug together. Neither is better. They’re just very different vacation experiences. 

The best adults-only resort is not simply the one without kids. It’s the one that fits the type of trip you actually want to have together. 

Before you book, ask yourselves, “What does our ideal vacation night look like?” 

Save this post for your next couples trip, or DM me when you’re ready to start planning.🛫🛬 @pureessencegetaways

Yesterday was bittersweet because it was also my hairstylist’s final day doing hair after 23 years. I’m going to miss her blessing this hair of mine, however, I am also excited for the beautiful next season God has for her. 

Thank you for taking such good care of my hair. 🫶🏽💕 @tai_kisha

My aunt and uncle knew they were going to Punta Cana for their birthdays, but they had no idea that family and friends from across the country would be there to celebrate them. 

It started with the airport surprises, then the birthday dinner, dancing, Santo Domingo, rum tasting, and all the memories being made in between. This was so much more than a vacation. It was time together that our family will always remember. @godomrep and @hrhcpuntacana owes us nothing. 💕 

Shoutout to @faithxcustoms for our custom shirts!

Do you have someone special you would love to celebrate with a group getaway? Let’s plan something unforgettable! @pureessencegetaways

  • I’ve been noticing the changes little by little, but seeing the definition in my quads, back, and arms like this? 🤯 

I’m proud of these changes and the fact that I’ve stayed committed. Seeing the muscle definition and separation come through has me even more motivated to keep showing up, keep pushing, and see what else I’m capable of. 

Big thank you to @bignaked_theanswer for the blueprint, the guidance, and for helping me build strength with intention. The results are speaking and the work is working. 💪🏽

The energy in the building was up, the buckets were falling, and the game stayed competitive all night. We fought until the very end, which is exactly the type of basketball I love experiencing in person. Plus, I even ran into some of the gworls while there, @fittybrity @coralxs_ @really_maymay .
