Mar Quiñones
Hi!
I'm Mar, a Mexican who loves to travel, explore the world, and see its incredible diversity.
I deeply fell in love with Norway, one of the most beautiful countries in the world, whether in summer or winter, this is a land with beautiful outdoors, charming fishing villages, incredible landscapes, vibrant cities, and great culture.
I'm here to share my passion for Norway with you and create unforgettable and unique travel experiences.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I plan and organize tailor-made trips throughout the whole country."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I studied tourism planning and after my first trip overseas to study abroad in Spain, I haven't stopped traveling and exploring the world, I considered myself lucky that I’m able to combine my passion for tourism with my work as a travel specialist.
For me traveling is about creating memories and getting to know new cultures."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"My trip to Morocco back in 2010 was a life-changing experience, for the very first time I had the opportunity to stay and get involved with locals, and that's when I discovered that despite the breathtaking beauty of the landscapes, I was totally fascinated by the culture and the warmth and generosity of its people. "

Out trip was so well organized by Mar and supported thereafter by Fenne and the result was a seamless and totally enjoyable trip to Norway including all the sights that we wanted to see. The hotels were excellent and very well placed to the city centers. The excursions were all very enjoyable and without problems. Personally this was my first time using KimKim but I am already working on another trip for next year with a new KimKim agent who already has shown the same qualities.

The Norway trip planned by Mar was absolutely brilliantly planned , well balanced between outdoors activities and cultural highlights of this country. The trip documents are well detailed and conceived. Kim Kim offers a 24/7 service in case of emergency. Mar suggestions were always on point . Having a local guide really provides peace of mind
Many thanks Mar !
