Fanny Venet
Born and raised in Lyon, France, I have had the chance to travel around France and the world, all for my studies and work! At 20, I had never set foot outside of my home country until I was chosen for an internship in Lapland, Finland. This was my first taste of the outside world, and I wanted more. After traveling, studying, and working around the world for a few years, I also realized there was a lot to explore in my own country! So, I have lived in different places: close to the ocean (Brittany and the Basque Country), in the mountains (the French Alps), and in the city (Lyon).
I am now based in the north of Lyon but still travel whenever I have free time. I love sharing my experiences and the little things that make a holiday stand out from the "usual trips"!
How did you get involved in travel?
"
At 20, I spent a few months in Lapland, Finland, working as a tourist guide/translator: snowmobiling in the Finnish wilderness, snowshoeing under the stars, and eagerly awaiting the Northern Lights every night. I absolutely loved the experience! Since then, I have been craving more. More new adventures, more new places, more new discoveries, and more new people!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I once went on a 3-day-cruise in the Whitsundays in Australia! Best experience of my whole life! 3 days of sea life, beautiful beaches, sunsets and sunrises, nice people. "

Everything went so smoothly! There were a few bumps in the road ( it comes with travel), but Fanny quickly got things right. KimKim’s choice of a biking company was spot-on. We highly recommend KimKim & Fanny.
