I always knew I wanted to go and explore! I spent my childhood wandering the countryside or reading about brave people venturing to fantastic places.

After finishing my degree, I set out to do just that. Along the way I met many people even more amazing than my literary heroes and knew that this would not be just a vacation, but a lifestyle. I have spent the past four years helping the communities that tourism intersects with and working to build better relations between the industry, locals and travellers. Travel is the window to the world, and the more we share, the better we get!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Patagonia -
"We specialize in trips in and around Torres del Paine National Park as well as Los Glaciares National park in Argentina.
I can help you organize anything from the standard ´W´ Hike to more exclusive and off-trail hikes in some of the parks hidden valleys. Would you fancy a 3-day camping and kayaking expedition? I can do that too!"

Santiago -
Do you want to hike into the Andes? Tour through sun-drenched valleys tasting famous Chilean wine? Why not both! "

How did you get involved in travel?

"I knew I wanted to discover more of the world and so left Europe and began my travel down Argentina, thinking I would be away for about a year. Out of money, but not out of luck, I stumbled into Chilean Patagonia planning to stay two nights and ended up living and working in tourism there for four years! Using Patagonia as my base, I have since travelled extensively throughout Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil. I have roamed one side of the world to the other, from visiting palaces in St. Petersburg to sleeping under the stars in South America."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Feeling as though I was on Mars; watching the Earth slowly come alive as the geysers began breathing with the sunrise in the Atacama Desert."

Great trip. Expensive for what you got. Most tents and sites were available and empty. Had been , prepaid for by guide companies, who monopolize the park. Locals would not let anyone stay in open sites if they did not have a reservation. Everyone we talked to had great difficulty getting reservation on their own. Drove the cost up exponentially. Kimkim was great to work with and tried to help with costs. Tent sites were the best vs. Made beds in dorms and snorers. Dittmar was ok. The sandwich... Read more

Great trip. Expensive for what you got. Most tents and sites were available and empty. Had been , prepaid for by guide companies, who monopolize the park. Locals would not let anyone stay in open sites if they did not have a reservation. Everyone we talked to had great difficulty getting reservation on their own. Drove the cost up exponentially. Kimkim was great to work with and tried to help with costs. Tent sites were the best vs. Made beds in dorms and snorers. Dittmar was ok. The sandwich they gave us the day before at orientation was bad by the next day. Totally soggy with tomatoes,cucumbers. Transportation in the park was not always on time as stated. Buses didn't run sometimes and neither did the ferry. A lot of standing around and waiting for it.
