Leny Vergara
Hello! I'm Leny. Travel is my passion, and if you're anything like me, you believe the best adventures happen off the beaten path. Japan is the first country I lived in, and I fell in love with it. It's rich in culture, a paradise for foodies with consistently high-quality cuisine, and I adore speaking the language and even singing Japanese songs. There are countless places to explore.
My goal is to guide you through the Land of the Rising Sun, creating journeys that ignite your sense of wonder. Planning your travels with me means more than just booking flights and hotels—it's about crafting unforgettable moments. I pay attention to every detail, ensuring every part of your journey is as special as you are. I'm excited to start our adventure together!
How did you get involved in travel?
"My wanderlust began with living abroad, and the first country I called home was Japan. I spent four enriching years there before returning to Manila, then moving to Vietnam, and Bangkok, and eventually finding my way back to Japan.
Driven by a dream to see as much of the world as possible, I've visited 28 countries and counting. These travels have been a blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and exploration, seeking out the finest in landscapes, cities, restaurants, and island-hopping destinations. Beyond my personal travels, my passion for culture, food, and exploration has blossomed. It's fueled my love for travel and inspired me to create dream itineraries for clients, sharing my enthusiasm for unforgettable experiences."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"It isn't easy to name just one unique travel experience, as my travels have taken me to so many incredible places. Here are a couple that stand out:
Safari in South Africa was unlike anything I've ever done. Seeing wild animals up close was so exciting. And I'm happy to say I've already spotted three of the Big 5.
Then, waking up early for a sunrise adventure at Mount Batur in Indonesia was totally worth it. Riding up the mountain in a bumpy Jeep got my heart racing, but the view at the top was unbelievable. Watching the sunrise above the clouds was just incredible.
Rio de Janeiro is such an amazing city! Its vibrant culture, stunning beaches, and iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer truly amazed me. The friendly and helpful people made my experience even more special. One highlight was taking a Harley Davidson tour, including an interesting ride through the Favela during the day. Experiencing real Churrasco while watching Sugar Loaf Mountain was unforgettable. Exploring the lively streets and relaxing on the beautiful beaches at Barra and Ipanema created memories that will stay with me forever. Rio is absolutely unforgettable!

Excellent experience with Kimkim. A pretty complicated trip, with lots of destinations, transfers, trains and planes and everything was seamless. Communication during the trip through WhatsApp was instantaneous.
Our travel specialist, Leny, was outstanding. She was able to suggest or modify activities on the fly, to suit the weather or teenage preferences. Her personalized recommendations on restaurants and shopping areas (Amerika-sura) were highlights of our trip. I will seek her out for any future trips to SE Asia.
