Meet the Founder

L. Nicole Johnson

Emerald Dreamscape Vacations was founded by L. Nicole Johnson, a lifelong educator and travel enthusiast with a deep belief in the power of travel to transform and inspire.

After more than 20 years in childcare, guiding and nurturing young minds, Nicole felt called to take her love of teaching in a new direction, helping people learn about themselves and the world through travel. What began as a personal passion for discovery grew into a mission: to design experiences that allow others to escape the routine, explore cultures beyond their own, and embrace the beauty of life across the globe.

Through Emerald Dreamscape Vacations, Nicole combines her educator’s heart with her traveler’s soul, creating curated journeys that are more than vacations, they’re opportunities for renewal, growth, and unforgettable connection.
