My most treasured memories have always involved travel. I'm an enthusiastic, ardent planner and love every aspect of planning a trip. My passion is to curate bespoke inspiring itineraries that combine unique experiences, pitch-perfect accommodations, and unmatched attention to detail. My deeply personal approach to travel planning allows me to create thoughtful trips that reflect the personality and imagination of each traveler. I always wish I was going on the trip too!

Our experience in Slovenia was magical. Nika understood what type of travelers we were and catered the entire experience to our specific interests perfectly. The variety of landscape, culture, and activities we were able to do and experience each day was incredible. Every day was a new adventure and thanks to Nika's expert scheduling, we never felt rushed. We had ample time to take in every experience and not simply check it off the list. I only wish we could have stayed longer. In short, 5/5! read more

Great hotel- very comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. We also loved having access to free bikes to explore Bled- that was the cherry on top for sure.

Adrenaline Check Eko Place
Bovec

Adrenaline Check Eko Place is totally unique and fosters a strong sense of community among the campers. It's a great place for families and had the cleanest facilities I've ever seen- it seemed to be the result of a strong sense of cooperation and mutual respect from everyone. It was safe and comfortable. The staff was friendly and laid back and they were naturally experts on the area and provided great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Bovec is a slice of heaven in the Alps and Adrenaline Check encapsulates the friendly, nature respecting attitude of the region.

Nika was wonderful, she listened to our feedback on the trip and adjusted perfectly. She was also available during our trip when rescheduling and timing changes needed to be made. We had such a fantastic honeymoon and would def use Kim Kim again depending on the country. One thing that would have been nice was to know of the local holidays beforehand so we could planned accordingly. There were several Slovenian holidays (where lots of attractions were closed) during our trip and a wine festival in Gredic that would have been fun to include if we had planned accordingly.
