Siena Mueller

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."

Hotel Review
The Langham, Sydney
Sydney

Unfortunatley, we stayed at this over-priced hotel during a time it was undergoing dining room renovations. But, even with that, the hotel is EXTREMELY expensive. And I mean expensive. We paid $230.00 for an uncomfortable dinner in a bar that consisted of two sandwiches, a quesadilla, dinner salad, and dessert. No desert. Fortunately, the travel agency we worked with reimbursed us for some of that exorbitant cost. Breakfast is $30.00 a person. It is a VERY GOOD buffet breakfast, but pricey. It is not near any restaurants, so we used Uber Eats to have meals delivered. The hotel did its best to address our dissatisfaction by comping us with one free breakfast and a room "gift" of two bottles of sparkling water and apples... But, they were patient, kind, and opened doors for us. The room was beautiful, large, and the deep soaking bathtub divine.

Our travel agency booked us for a two-hour private tour of the zoo. We didn't see much of the entire zoo, but what we did see was phenomenal. Experiences we simply cannot have in the United States. We got up close and personal with koala bears, Kangaroos, dingos, wallabies, and bilbies, as well as Penguins, exotic birds, capybaras, and baby meerkats. Our senior guide was passionate and interesting. We were thrilled with our experience.

Each excursion had a particluar uniqueness to it and fulfilled our interest and desires that we had expressed to KimKim. We were fortunate to have good weather and even in those rare instances when there was rain, it was manageable. Small groups are the way to go, travel was easier and there was more opportunity for interaction with the guides and other travelers. One note: we were the oldest travelers in each group and as a result, I would ask for a little slower pace or maybe an extra day to get all the experiences in. Going at a rate of 10-12 hours per day was a challenge but it was what we had asked for, next time we will adjust that. All in all, a fantastic experience and KimKim delivered not only what we had asked for and more, but an incredible memory.

Our only regret was staying in Airlie Beach rather than on Hamilton Island. While Airlie and our accommodation were lovely, we underestimated how far it is from the most scenic parts of the Whitsundays. With limited time, we wish we’d paid extra to stay on one of the islands. We’d recommend future travellers stay directly on a Whitsundays island if possible.
