About Nicole Franken

I published two books (On fairies and bullet holes and Island blues) about small communities and remote areas. About people who cherish desolation, seek solitude or live forever in that deserted bay. Where volcanoes, violence and loneliness can erupt anytime and where people do what they do best: survive.

Over the last 20 years I developed human interest and travel features among others in National Geographic Traveler, Lonely Planet magazine, Columbus Travel, Marie Claire, Seasons, Elle, oneWorld, Trouw De Verdieping and de Volkskrant. My work is represented by ANP/ Hollandse Hoogte.

Currently I am working on a multi-media production about the irreversible consequences of climate change on indigenous people in the northern hemisphere. This project will show the personal, daily stories behind the shocking statistics through features and documentaries.

In addition, I am a maverick, energetic and experienced human rights and communication professional specialized in the development of global multimedia campaigns, documentaries, journalistic items and PR with the objective of positioning the organization as a trustworthy partner of choice to governments and to raise awareness about sexual exploitation of children, child marriages and female genitale mutilation.
