Veronica Medina
Hi! my name is Veronica, I'm a Venezuelan living in Costa Rica. I fell in love with this country from the moment I arrived. I've decided to encourage and help people to travel and discover Costa Rica so they can see why I decided to stay.
I really like anything that has to do whit adventure, so when I'm not working you can find me looking for new places to hike or maybe looking for a great waterfall to spend the afternoon. Also, I really enjoy languages, so one of my hobbies is getting to learn as much as I can of any language of my interest like English or French
Thank you for allowing me to design a magical travel experience around this beautiful country that I feel and know as my own.
Pura Vida!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I'm specialized in Costa Rica! I have a Master's in Events and MICE tourism (meetings, incentives, conferences, and events). I love to design family vacations and honeymoon trips. Adventure, nature, luxury, and cultural destinations are my preferred ingredients to create memorable trips! "
How did you get involved in travel?
"After arriving in Costa Rica I started my tourism education, I did not know how much I was going to love this career! after getting to know all the people, all the places, and all the adventures I decided that I wanted to work as a tourism expert for the rest of my life! "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I will never forget the first time I visited the Arenal Volcano, I was on a ziplining tour and the view of the Volcano caught me off guard it was so majestic and beautiful that I just couldn't keep myself from crying. It was a perfect trip for me and since then La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano became my favorite destination. "

The 6 Best Hotels With Views of Arenal Volcano
The main attraction in Arenal/La Fortuna is the region's famed volcano, a cone-shaped peak often shrouded in clouds. Early morning is the best time to catch cloud-free views, so we recommend staying in an area hotel offering vistas of Arenal Volcano. Enjoy those views from your room with your morning coffee or common areas like open-air restaurants, hot springs, and yoga platforms.

We were skeptical at first, but We absolutely loved our experience using kimkim. I couldn't ask for a better specialist than Veronica to plan our Costa Rica adventure. She understood exactly what we were looking for, planned the ideal trip, and made herself available for phone calls and messages at all times.
We traveled with our 3-Year-Old. She loved the trip and especially the nature hikes and spotting wildlife and birds. The food was incredible. Nothing fancy but everything is so... read more

The planning was easy with Veronica. She asked great questions, provided needed information, recommendations and assurances , and then organized a wonderful trip for us. The accommodations were amazing and all the tours, operators and guides were excellent! We had private tours with guides on many days.
Highlight:
Staying at the Tabocan Resort (a beautiful hotel with amazing hot springs) and the view (once the clouds cleared on... read more

We visited Costa Rica from Jan 4-18. We started in Tortuguero and finished in Manuel Antonio. We spent 2 nights in 5 different locations and 3 nights in Tamarindo. For the most part that was a perfect amount of time. However I do wish we had 3 nights in Manuel Antonio and a better hotel location in Arenal. The Kim Kim team was always easy to contact. The tour guides they work with are very good especially Marco in Tortuguero and Charlie in Arenal. We appreciated the good food we ate... read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Veronica at Kim Kim Travel Agency to plan my 6 day family vacation to Costa Rica. Planning a vacation is never easy, but Kim Kim made the process incredibly easy for me. We communicated a lot via the website allowing me to get my questions answered easily.
During our five days, we had nothing to worry about. Transportation and activities were all taken care of. In Arenal we did the hot pools and took a beautiful hike around the... read more

Our trip was fantastic and memorable! All of the logistics (with the exception of a few minor mishaps) were well planned and we were able to do all of our activities. Veronica was very attentive and helpful and met our every request. All accommodations (except Pueblo Dorado Surf Hotel which was ok) were fantastic and activities were amazing! The guides who led us in rafting canyoning hiking and zip lining were outstanding and experts who made us feel safe and comfortable. We loved Arenal... read more

When we chose Costa Rica as our honeymoon destination, we didn’t know that we would have the trip of a lifetime! From the first day to the last, Green World Adventures planned a fantastic trip for us! From a private rafting and bird watching tour to meeting people from different countries joining us on coffee and chocolate tour—each day unfolded into something special.
Every hotel we stayed at was a great experience, and they all were generous in surprising us with honeymoon champagne and... read more

Veronica and her agency provided great service overall. Easy to work with, very responsive, considered our needs and desires and stayed within our budget. The ability to contact her “on the fly” was very reassuring and we utilized it more than once. This was our first experience using kimkim and this agency but definitely won’t be the last! read more

My husband and I had the most impeccably organized 13-day honeymoon planned by Veronica. She made sure we were able to do everything we wanted and everything was planned with love and top notch detail. Everything from transportation, local recommendations, and tours with knowledgeable and courteous organizations, made this trip truly unforgettable. We’ll never forget our memories of hiking through the Cloud Forest and rappelling down waterfalls near Arenal Volcano. Thank you Veronica and GWA... read more

We had the BEST time visiting Costa Rica thanks to KimKim.com! I highly recommend this country and the experience it has to offer. Not only is the country lush and beautiful, the people are so hospitable and genuinely seem to appreciate your visit. In fact the local tour company that KimKim.com arranged greeted us with a note thanking us to contributing to the social-economic involvement of their local communities and said that we were all making our world a better place. You truly notice the... read more
