Hey! Life's pretty short, and I believe we should squeeze in as much different experiences as we can. Every day is a chance to create unforgettable memories, to explore new places, and to connect with this amazing world and the people in it.
How did you get involved in travel?
"My journey started with an unquenchable curiosity about the world. From a young age, I was captivated by tales of distant lands and diverse cultures.
I consider myself truly fortunate for having had the opportunity to explore diverse corners of the world, from the enchanting landscapes of Europe and Africa to the vibrant culture of the North-America and the captivating expanse of Asia."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"During a transformative six-month adventure in Turkey, I had the privilege of working directly with travelers. Guiding them through ancient bazaars, sharing stories as we wandered through historical sites, and savoring the rich tapestry of flavors in local eateries – these experiences shaped my understanding of crafting seamless and unforgettable journeys."

Overall our trip was fine but not outstanding. Part of that may be that we have always been fit and healthy, and now in our mid 70's we not as energetic or willing to accept annoyances.
Hotels....the 3 hotels we stayed in were nice hotels in general, and all had friendly, professional, and helpful staff. All breakfasts were good as well.

Fenne also did a wonderful job booking all the tours, excursions, hotels, and modes of transportation. Two of the four hotels we stayed at could have been nicer however, the room at one of the hotels had the loveliest view of any place we’ve ever stayed in all of our travels. Everything worked like clockwork without a problem. Julia was our 24 hour contact while traveling... Read more

Even though we did not travel in the summer, and there was a bit of snow, we really had a great time, and actually enjoyed seeing the white tops on the mountains.
The proposed itinerary was a good match to our preferences.
The guide to Preikestolen, Terry, was great. Overall, we really enjoyed the balance between boat trips and the walks in the nature.

Our trip for a last minute put together was fabulous. We loved each place we visited. The hotels were gorgeous. The scenery was perfect.
Our guide for the waterfall scenic drive (Michael) has the perfect amount of energy. We absolutely loved him and learned so much about the area. He for sure made that experience a great one.
Everyone from the Kim Kim team was so helpful and promptly answered questions or helped when needed. Excellent service.
