Bonjour! I’m a travel specialist at Kimkim, and I'm here to help you create unforgettable experiences in France. I studied history in college and have always been fascinated by different cultures and the stories behind them. My goal is to design trips that balance France’s iconic highlights with its hidden gems, ensuring every trip feels both personal and inspiring.
How did you get involved in travel?
"I’ve always loved exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. After college, I moved to Scotland and spent a few amazing years living and working there. Getting to know the people and the culture completely changed how I see the world and sparked an even deeper love for travel. Since then, I’ve explored much of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and each trip has inspired me in new ways."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"My first trip to France is one I’ll never forget. My mom and I went to Chamonix to hike the Tour du Mont Blanc, a 105-mile trail that loops around the Mont Blanc Massif and passes through France, Switzerland, and Italy. Seeing those incredible mountains up close and watching the landscape change so dramatically along the way completely blew me away. I was hooked on France from that moment on."
