Hi, I’m Elizabeth! 🌏 I’m passionate about travel and hospitality—it’s not just my career, but my dream. 🧳✨ With a background in Hospitality and Tourism Management, I’ve explored various countries across Asia, embracing different cultures and climates along the way. 🗺️🌸 Now, as a specialist in both Japan and Thailand tours, I bring my expertise to help you discover the beauty, traditions, and hidden gems of these incredible destinations. 🗾🇹🇭 From ancient temples and stunning landscapes to vibrant city life and authentic local cuisine, I love sharing my experiences and knowledge to create unforgettable memories for you. Let’s make your Japan and Thailand adventures truly extraordinary!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in Japan and Thailand, 🗾🇹🇭 offering personalized tours that highlight each country’s rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and unique experiences. From exploring ancient temples and traditional tea ceremonies in Japan 🍵🏯 to discovering Thailand’s stunning beaches and vibrant street markets 🏝️🍜, I create unforgettable journeys tailored to your interests. ✨🧳"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I’ve always had a deep passion for travel and learning about different cultures, which led me to study Hospitality and Tourism Management. 🏨✈️ My love for exploring new places took me across Asia, where I embraced diverse cultures, landscapes, and climates. 🌏🌿 These experiences ignited my desire to share the beauty of travel with others.

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One unforgettable experience was visiting a small mountain village in Japan during cherry blossom season. 🌸🏯 The beauty of the sakura in full bloom, combined with a traditional tea ceremony with a local family, made it a truly magical and culturally rich moment. ✨🍵 Similarly, exploring the tropical islands of Thailand 🏝️🇹🇭, with their crystal-clear waters and breathtaking limestone cliffs, while enjoying authentic Thai street food 🍜🌶️, was an equally unforgettable experience."

My partner and I took a 12-day trip to Thailand. Even before we left, we had a lot of questions and made a number of changes to the itinerary to suit what we were looking for during our luxury trip. Elizabeth was receptive, positive and happy to accommodate until we had it just right. The planning was excellent overall.

During the trip, it was clear that Elizabeth had planned everything exceptionally well. From drivers to tour guides to hotels, everyone was on time, had our requests and treated us well.

In terms of the excursions and activities, they were generally of high quality. When a concern did arise, the communication from Elizabeth was excellent - very attentive, clear and reliable. She also jumped in immediately and resolved the situation and then went the extra step to ensure future tours went smoothly.

Bastien really went above and beyond and we had an amazing trip to Japan. This was our first time and we didn't want to have too many activities or too little and felt this trip met the perfect balance! All of our tours and guides were the top tier and we had so much fun with them. Traveling with KimKim is always the best because it is customized and also structured to provide the perfect balance for a vacation! Read more

We had a great time planning and going on the trip! With 8 people it was a lot of coordination! All of our travel and check-ins were seamless. My one concern was two of the tours were a lot of walking, which would have been better to known given we had flagged we were traveling with someone who was seeing impaired! Other than that we had a great experience that could not have happened without the amazing specialists at kimkim, thanks Bastien and Elizabeth! Read more

Probably the best part of the trip! It was a great way to keep us going our first night there and the tour guide Yuki is above and beyond- everyone should go on tours with him!

Truly only downside of the trip, we did a lot but wish things were communicated to us instead of just following the guide behind. There was a lot of walking and not a lot of explaining./
