Jane Davey
I grew up in the UK and developed a real passion for the great outdoors, which inspired me to work in travel. As a child, I spent my holidays in the UK with my parents and my brother. My dad used to race pigeons and they would often become lost. Quite often we would travel around the UK, retrieving my dad’s pigeons that had been found by members of the public. This inspired me to explore more remote areas of the UK.
My heart is divided between the Peak District (Derbyshire), Scotland, and Wales (as I have been to the summit of all the Welsh 3000 ft mountains). I live in the French Alps in the Winter as I love skiing. The rest of the year I flit between my home in France and my home in the UK. I have discovered a love for the Vanoise National Park, and spent the Summer of 2022, exploring the area on an electric mountain bike. I am a keen skier and as I live close to the Paradiski region, I can be found on the slopes almost every weekend during the ski season, and in the Peak District and Vanoise National Park in the Summer.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"With an in-depth knowledge of the UK, I specialize in not only single destination but multi-destination, including England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
My favourite TV program is ‘All Creatures Great & Small’, filmed in and around Yorkshire.
As I have been traveling to France for many years, I have a passion for researching the 2nd World War, ski locations, and summer activities. My love of the French mountains and culture was the main reason that I moved there in 2021, but still visit the UK often.
"
How did you get involved in travel?
"My Grandad was a coach driver and he traveled all over the World. On returning from his ‘trips’, he would always buy me a doll, in native costume, from the countries he had visited. I was in awe of his knowledge of how to find locations without a map. His passion and experiences inspired me to become a travel agent, as I love to find new places to explore."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I once traveled on a guided group tour on a Greek Caique Cruise boat, where we went island hopping. It was a rustic experience, and I met many people that had traveled. We slept above deck and looked at the stars whilst chatting about our travel experiences, swam in the sea and I saw a Manta Ray and giant starfish. We visited several destinations that were off the beaten track, met local people, and supported their economy directly, and I just took it all in."

Thank you Jane for an amazing trip to Scotland. We had a few days and Jane made every one of them special. Her detailed planning and communication was perfect. We felt that "Jane knew us like a friend" as she picked the perfect hotels, activities and food recommendations. We would definitely recommend KimKim for people who are ok executing their own plans with the help of a great planner like Jane.
Thank you for your feedback and for letting myself and the team work with you all. We loved your adventures and look forward to seeing you again in the future. All the best from 'The Team'.
