As a travel specialist with kimkim, my goal is to create personalized adventures tailored to your very own interests. Whether it's a relaxing, beach-side trip on the coast or a wine tour in a countryside village, I strive to promote places and experiences that show the authentic culture, cuisine, and history of your destination. I hope to share my own firsthand knowledge and insights to create an unforgettable journey for travelers!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in covering Spain and Portugal's highlights, sprinkling off-the-beaten-path experiences for those looking to enjoy each country's lesser-known gems; whether that's a romantic getaway, cultural and heritage exploration, or an adventure-filled vacation!"
How did you get involved in travel?
"My passion for travel started after taking my first international trip as an undergraduate student. This encouraged me to continue exploring new destinations, both with groups and as a solo traveler. Since then, I've traveled to various countries throughout Europe, Central America, North America, and a couple of destinations in Africa. Having lived in Spain during my travels with visits to Portugal, I hope to share my love for these countries and all they have to offer!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my favorite experiences was joining the Batalla del Vino, or Battle of the Wine, in Haro, a small town in Spain famous for it's red wines. Every year, thousands of locals and tourists come together, split into teams, and throw liters of red wine at each other on a hilltop followed by a festival at the town square. People carried bottles, cups, even buckets filled with wine! When given the opportunity, I recommend participating in local celebrations, especially those less common, to get a firsthand look at a country's culture. "

The communication with Kim Kim during both our planning phase and prior to leaving for our trip to Spain was fantastic. All of the activities that were planned by Kim Kim were fantastic. There was a scheduling problem with one of the activities while we were on site and the Kim Kim team handled it wonderfully. I would use them to plan activities on future trips.
Thank you, Steff, for your kind words! I'm so happy to read that you enjoyed the local experiences during your trip to Spain. My priority was to ensure you had a seamless experience, and I hope we achieved that during your planning phase and beyond. I look forward to seeing you at kimkim again in the future!

Ellis, I can't express how amazing it was to help you and Patty plan your first trip to Spain. I loved reading about the experiences that stood out to you — I have to admit, I'm a big fan of the food as well! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed learning from our local guides during your sightseeing tours and had a great time at the hotels. The Madrid train station can certainly be tricky! I hope to see you both again at kimkim in the future and continue to wish you a speedy recovery. 😊
