Hi, Iā€™m Nikkita Nair

I am a Journalist, Photographer and Content Designer, who enjoys sharing stories that teach us more about the world and excite us to get out there and explore it.

I was born and raised in Singapore and moved to Vancouver 10 years ago. Currently, I split my time between Vancouver, Singapore, Medellin and everywhere in between. I have followed my curiosity as I travelled the world - spending time in Santiago de Compostela learning Spanish, exploring Portugal by train, embarking on a multi-day kayak trip to learn about orcas and other marine life on Vancouver Island. I love learning new languages to connect deeper with the people I meet as I travel. I believe everyone is shaped by their environment and experiences, and cherish the conversations I have with every person I meet and enjoy sharing collective stories. Whether it is the opening of a new hotel, how a neighbourhood has transformed over the years or the ways in which we have travelled has changed, I am passionate about engaging with the communities to make this happen.

My career has allowed me to work with hospitality brands curating wellness content. I then dove into the Investigative Due Diligence space, working with governments, financial institutions and corporations around the world to make better informed decisions. This allowed me to combine both my interest in travel and investigative financial crime research.

In 2020, I co-founded The AMLette, a fortnightly newsletter focusing on financial crime and culture. The newsletter examines the prevalence of scams and fraudulent activity in popular culture and society such as art, agriculture and casinos.

When I am not on the road, I am usually following my curiosity wherever it takes me. I am eager about learning to surf, leaning into the tarot, embarking on multi-day hikes, binging true crime podcasts, diving nose-deep into a book and checking out new cafes.

I am open to commissions, assignments and collaborations around the world. If you are a travel editor or brand, I would love to chat and work with you! Connect with me at nikkita@nikkitanair.com šŸ™‚
