Hey, my name is Julia. I am originally from Germany.
After I took my semester abroad in Norway during my Bachelor, I decided I wanted to live in this beautiful country. Now, working in travel, learning more about this beautiful country I live in, and meeting new people makes every day exciting and special for me.
How did you get involved in travel?
"I love to travel myself! Seeing the diversity of the world, getting to know new cultures and meeting new people is one of my passions. I always wanted to work with something I love to do myself. By helping travelers to get the best experience possible, showing the beautiful spots Norway has to offer and spreading the joy of traveling, I am able to combine my job with my passion for travel, culture, and people."

Our time in Norway was so amazing that we’re both suffering from post-vacation sadness. We miss Norway! Family and friends always ask us after a trip, “what was your favorite part?” Every part of Norway was a highlight. As I’m writing this I’m drinking a cup of Friele. When we go back we will be using KimKim again. Julia was excellent in her recommendations as they matched perfectly what we wanted to see and experience. Everything on our itinerary I would consider a “must do” for anyone...

Lovely trip. Amazing hotels, travel connections, route.etc. If I were to do the trip over I would change the following : book the funicular rather than the cable car in Bergen, subtract the third day from Bergen and it to Oslo. Minor adjustments to a wonderful experience !

Our travel specialists, Julia and Fenne, were great. They provided a perfect trip that met all of our desires for one week in Norway. Hotel selection and convenience to train stations and activities was well thought out. All of the activities they had planned, cruises on fiords, train rides and the food and culture city walk in Bergen were all great. Will definitely be using kimkim again. Told locals about what kimkim can do for them in planning trips! Keep up the good work!

Julia did an amazing job helping me plan my Norway trip from Oslo to Narvis and then to Stockholm. The transportation (train, bus, and air) and lodging arrangements were all taken care of by Julia. She made the trip easy and instruction/directions were easy to follow. She also recommended tours which helped a lot. I would use Julia/KimKim again for my next trip!!

We have just completed our 15-day Scandinavia adventure! We found the trip planning and excursions that were suggested by Julia to fit our tastes and also provide enough time for wandering around on our own. In Copenhagen we especially appreciated the personal tours of Kronoberg and Christiansborg castles. In Norway the wonderful stop in Balestrand with the rib boat tour and fjord tours were amazing, along with the accommodations. Having all the trains and boats planned for us was great to...

I was very happy with all aspects of our trip. All the excursions were great, I especially enjoyed the private day trip with Kronborg & Frederiksborg Castle, the RIB boat tour and the Orchard Tour & Cider Tasting! All the accommodations were good, but the Zander K Hotel in Bergen was a bit small for three people. All the transportation went well, but I would have liked a little more information, especially with regards to how the trains worked, we got a little confused a couple of times. ...

Our Norway trip was fantastic. The itinerary the kimkim team helped develop allowed us to see so much of this beautiful country and have so many great experiences along the way. There was a bit of a miscue in our initial booking, which led to a rework of our original itinerary, but we appreciated how the kimkim team responded by introducing some different experiences. Our itinerary included 4 days on the Hurtigruten, moving us from Bergen up to Svolvaer; I wasn’t sure how this was going to...

Julia and Fenne were our connections in these countries and did such an amazing job helping to plan our daily activities, travel, restaurants and so much more. It was a big trip in the making and they were there at every step with answers and suggestions to our questions sometimes on a daily basis.
