Hi, I’m Nichole.

While my background is in the sciences (biology and microbiology) a life shift brought my husband and children and I to Texarkana, USA eleven years ago. When my children were very little, I began dabbling in sharing snippets of our life on social media. The adventures I took my children on began gaining traction and within a few years, my Coleyraeh LLC business was born. My Instagram (Coleyraeh) began to take off and the Luckey Wanderers blog came to life.

It began solely focused on my outdoor adventure and shenanigans with my children, but grew to include our homeschooling escapades and travel. In 2023, after seeing a need for a regional travel hub where I live, I opened another branch of my business as ArkLaTex Adventures ( and Coleyraeh in the ArkLaTex), to help continue being a champion for loving where I live. My goal is to elevate the ArkLaTex, one adventure at a time.

In everything that I do, my goal is always to curate and share content that is soul food, not junk food. I aspire to create things that my audience will watch and feel joy, uplifted, and inspired to see the wonder, wherever they wander, even if it’s close to home.
