Whether you're a solo adventurer, a couple seeking romance, or a family craving new adventures, I'm here to tailor-make your journey, ensuring it surpasses your expectations while contributing positively to the local community. From scenic nature activities to deep dives into history, culture, and cuisine, I'm passionate about sharing my love for travel with all types of adventurers.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in crafting tailored trip plans for solo travelers, couples, and families, catering to newcomers and experienced travelers looking for a new adventure. My favorite activities include scenic nature adventures and immersive experiences in history, culture, and cuisine."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Guided by my family's adventurous spirit, my introduction to travel began at an early age. My mom prioritized taking my sister and me on yearly trips to new places throughout my childhood, from local road trips to flights across seas. These experiences sparked my love for exploration, paving the way for my pursuit of a Bachelor's Degree in Sustainable Tourism Development. During a study abroad program in Greece, focused on community development and tourism in the Mani peninsula, I fell in love with the country's rich culture and gorgeous landscape. With 20 countries under my belt, each journey adding to my wealth of experiences, I continue to be inspired by the transformative power of travel."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I have been so lucky to have had many impactful travel experiences - my pro tip is to keep a travel journal to help you remember the details of your adventures! One particular adventure stands out: a hike from Milia to the Panagia Giatrissa Monastery. Trekking through lush green mountains, we discovered hidden creeks and funky insects. We finally reached the top, after getting beautifully lost for an additional mile or so, and soaked in the inspiring view of the mountain range. There, a clergy member shared the land’s deep-rooted history over Turkish coffee. Returning to Milia, we shared a meal with locals, tasting some of the finest olive oil and exchanging stories that bridged generations. This experience perfectly encapsulates my approach to travel: a harmonious blend of nature exploration and cultural immersion, connecting with locals who enrich our understanding of the places we visit."

My family spent 10 fun filled days in Australia. Siena and Greg were amazing at booking activities that meet all of our requests and kept us active. We started in Brisbane touring with Steve from Croc Tours out to Australia Zoo then visited a surf club for local prawns and beer. Then to Cairns for rainforest touring and tubing with our private guide Jordy. All of our guides were so friendly and patient with our kids. We spent time at the Great Barrier Reef then wrapped up in Melbourne with the historic Puffing Billy Steam Train and snuck in a wine country and chocolate factory visit with our guide Dylan. Everyone we meet went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. The hotels selected for us met all our needs and desires and were conveniently located within the cities. Many meals were included with our activities so we didn’t have to spend a fortune in country on meals. Siena’s suggestions for self guided exploration were spot on to satisfy my desire to see local wildlife and the sights and sounds of eastern Australia. We were able to do and see so much!

Rydges Melbourne Hotel
Melbourne

This was by far my favorite hotel of our trip. The breakfast is phenomenal for visitors from all over the world. The location is great, near theaters, shopping and great dining.

This hotel is a little older but a nice place to stay due to location and generous room size plus laundry machines in suite. This allowed us to clean up after our rainforest trekking and reef adventure. Very short walk to some great sites.

Short walk to reef tours and exceptional dining options. Also right in front of a local grocery store which is a great money saver due to fridge and cooking appliances in room.

Hotel is a little older and there was a wall leak that opened during our stay in the hallway to our room. Looking at other accommodations in the area and given what was available in rooms it would not stop me from staying here again. Everything was very clean at check in.

It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed each part of the trip, from the Australia Zoo (so glad it lived up to your decades-long dream!) to exploring the Daintree with Jordy, and wrapping up in Melbourne with that magical Puffing Billy ride and a visit to wine country with Dylan. You really made the most of every day, and I’m thrilled our recommendations helped balance adventure, local flavor, and family time so well.

I couldn’t agree more about the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. That’s my first stop every time I visit the city!

Also, thank you for sharing the details about Tangalooma and the Mantra Hotel in Cairns — that kind of feedback is so helpful, and we’ll continue to monitor both closely for future travelers.

Thanks again for sharing all of this — it was a pleasure helping plan your family’s adventure, and I hope there are many more ahead! ✨

Working with KimKim to create a special birthday holiday to Greece for my wife's birthday was one of the best decisions that I could have made. The team that we worked with up-front was fantastic in terms of working on all the details and then the team in country to help support us while we were on the trip was just as great. The experiences they recommended and guides they chose were all outstanding. A 10 out of 10 all the way around.

She took our requests into account without any frustration or annoyance. I was able to take reams of notes to share with family and friends, and she patiently answered any requests for clarification.

Our driver Yannis was also excellent, an admitted history buff, and he also added to our knowledge base. He made our trips go quickly and uneventful. We enjoyed our stop in Delphi and although it was raining our guide made it all work and was also quite good.

We learned a lot from our guide Virginia at Corinth. In particular, she painted a great picture of what it must have been like in the time of Paul the Apostle. In addition seeing where his trial may have been held brought a lot to light.

In Naflio our driver Tasos was excellent…very professional yet caring. Our guide on the walking tour through Naflio was also excellent. It was raining which meant we had the place to ourselves, and once again we learned a lot. He was also our guide to Epidaurus and Mycenae. He was clearly knowledgeable and like the other guides was clearly passionate about his craft.

Our last guide Heracles, was our guide through the Arcadian villages. He too knew his material. We enjoyed the ironworth herb tea, orange pie, and the galaktoboureko pastry in Levidi. We enjoyed the caves at Kapsia, and learned about the importance of Dimitsana to the Greek revolution due to its production of gunpowder. We appreciated seeing the Greek countryside and getting a little glimpse into the lives of everyday Greeks.

All in all, we got a tantalizing taste of Greece, and will hopefully be able to visit it again in the future.

That being said each tour on Naxos had its own special place and memory. The starlight night photography was a unique experience that we look forward to seeing the photo results of. The olive oil tasting mythology tour was really informative. Olives and oil on that experience were super unique and I hate olives but quite liked the tour, and even a couple of the oils.

I will say I was a first time user of KimKim for a pretty big celebration for my wife and I, despite hesitations, KimKim did a fantastic job of putting the trip together and it functioned very smoothly. We are not big travelers and consider ourselves quite needy in help and assistance. However, with KimKim we were well taken care of.

We recently returned from a wonderful trip organized through KimKim. Overall, everything went smoothly, and we had a great experience. Both Seiara and Greg were outstanding to work with—responsive, knowledgeable, and kind. This is not our first time using KimKim, and one of the things we've always appreciated is the opportunity to work with local agents who really know the destination.

All the guides we had in-country were excellent, and we felt well taken care of throughout our travels. The only hiccup was with two long day trips we ended up canceling. Locals and other travelers we met advised us that those particular excursions weren’t worth the time or expense—and in hindsight, we agree.

This has made us reflect on the value of working directly with agents who live in the destination country. Their firsthand experience and insight seem to make all the difference when it comes to recommending which tours and experiences are truly worthwhile.

We still very much appreciate KimKim and will use the platform again—but with a preference for local expertise wherever possible.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback about the day trips you chose to cancel. We had arranged private, fully customizable experiences for both the Great Ocean Road and the Blue Mountains, which are often considered highlights—but we also know that everyone enjoys spending their travel time differently. What feels worthwhile to one traveler might not resonate with another, and that’s completely okay. In hindsight, we may have been a bit overambitious with the planning, and I truly appreciate you giving us that perspective.



Your point about the value of local, on-the-ground insight is well taken. Greg and I work closely with our local partners to ensure we’re recommending the best experiences! I'm confident you'll enjoy working with future local kimkim specialists, as well! 💛

We were a family of 8 ( 3 generations) taking a family trip to Greece and Siena and Lea planned the perfect experience for us! We had drivers waiting to transfer us to all locations and the hotel in Athens was wonderful . Our host Leo was so welcoming and fun! We did a walking tour to the acropolis then a food tour with Yorgus who was amazing! Ferry tickets were organized for us to Naxos & Santorini ( including drivers). We did a cultural and food walking tour in Naxos with Chris which was also interesting and more than we could eat!!! Once in Santorini a wine tasting and cooking class was planned and was the highlight of the entire trip. Everyone was involved with chef John who made it so fun especially for our non cooking family members. We finished the trip with a catamaran sunset dinner cruise , so fun, beautiful and delicious!
Overall the trip was incredible and memorable for our family!!! Siena listened to our interests and delivered the perfect experience for us.
I will definitely recommend Kimkim to plan a group trip personalized to suit your needs.
11 out of 10!!!!!

This location is amazing and well located in Fira. The views are incredible and George and Stelious make our stay so memorable!!! Breakfast was delivered every morning on our terrace and was delicious. This is a small hotel who pay attention to detail and make sure you have everything you could possibly need.

Had several issues with this hotel. The room was great. The food just soso. But they charged us when we got there, and Lea had to get involved and get that resolved. They told us when we checked in that we could stay in the room on check out day until our pickup but then called us that day to tell us we had to get out now. Had a ride with them to airport - verified this three times and they were still late.

Family Vacay!

We recently took a family vacation to Greece for two weeks. There was a total of 9 of us, including three kids, ages 7, 5, and 1. Siena did a phenomenal job lining up kid friendly activities, while balancing the itinerary to make it enjoyable for all ages. Traveling with young children can be difficult, but Siena listened to our needs and logistically made everything easier for everyone.

Our guides were all great with the kids as well. They all kept the kids engaged in the tour(s) and made them feel included. They were all so patient with us as well when we needed extra time.

I can say the favorite for everyone was in Naxos where we visited the dairy farm, beekeeper, and the kids made pottery. Even the adults loved feeding the newborn lambs. However, Meteora was a close second. It is absolutely beautiful!
