Margaux Alix

馃椇锔廔've been passionate about travel since childhood -from Western Europe to Eastern Asia -I love to discover new places, people, food, and cultures.

馃崌My name is Margaux, I'm 25 and grew up in a wine area near Nuits-St-Georges, in Burgundy. I love to share my love for travels and cultures and to give my best tips. I usually travel by myself, or with some friends and family members.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"馃嵎Really often I plan trips for my family and my friends - whether it is in Europe or in Asia. I come from Burgundy which is one of the wine area in France and I also lived in Paris.

馃崷So, I do know a lot these places. So far, one of my favorite place in Europe is Italy. I went there more than 10 times!"

How did you get involved in travel?

"馃悜My family lives in different parts of France, and the first time I traveled abroad was in middle school. It started by visiting Ireland and then many countries in Europe. At that time, I also fell in love of Italy and its gorgeous landscapes.

馃Since I love discovering new cultures, I lived in Belgium, Germany and then in South Korea. To me, traveling is about making new discoverings, family and friends time, and everyday wonders."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"馃寢When I hiked the Etna vulcano in Sicily (Italy) it was hard and the weather was so hot this day. However, the view over the sea and the valley was so breathtaking and incredible that I still remember the whole experience ten years later."

Margaux did a great job of listening to what we wanted to do/see and fitting that into our trip. All our accommodations and reservations were what we expected. She provided a detailed itinerary and met with us twice to answer questions. If I travel to Germany or the surrounding area again, I鈥檇 definitely work with Margaux to plan my trip. Read more

Margaux laid out everything we asked for and more. She was fantastic to work with and we had the trip of a lifetime.
Margaux was always available during the planning and the trip. Her colleague Amandine was available if Margaux was not. I could not be happier with the service we received.
My wife became ill during the last leg of our tour, I could not have made it without the Kimkim team, they helped save my wife鈥檚 life. No joke

My travel specialist, Margaux, put together a wonderful trip for me in Switzerland. I was amazed at how quickly she came up with a plan, after I filled out the questionnaire.

My travel specialist, Margaux, put together a wonderful trip for me in Switzerland. I was amazed at how quickly she came up with a plan, after I filled out the questionnaire. I wanted to see more of the country after going to The Eras Tour in Zurich. I traveled, mainly by train, from Zurich to Montreux, Zermatt, and then on to Geneva, from where I flew home. Montreux is so beautiful! The Jazz Festival was happening while I was there, so I got to see some free live music and enjoy the general festivities. I really enjoyed visiting Chateau de Chillon. What an interesting place! Another highlight of my trip was taking the scenic train to see the Matterhorn. It was a cloudy day, so I was feeling less than hopeful about getting good views, but on the trip up, the clouds parted and we had amazing views of the mountains the entire day. It was breathtaking! The itinerary and vouchers that Margaux prepared for me made my solo trip much easier, because I had a plan for each day and the information I needed to make getting from place to place easier.

If there was anything I would change about our trip, it would be to spend a couple of days somewhere on the French Riviera to rest and relax before coming home. Margaux was so supportive and flexible throughout our trip, of which we are so appreciative!
