Alisha Estevez

Hello my name is Alisha, 31 years old and I am originally from Germany. In 2016 I finished my university and decided to travel afterwards. My first stop was Bali and I fell in love with the island at first sight. I have been living on the island for more than 6 years now and I enjoy every single day. In the last years I saw a lot of nice places, met people and learned about the culture. I am really happy that I could collect so many memories and that I can share these memories with you now.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I would say that I saw almost everything in Bali, all the tourist places but also all of the nice hidden ones. So if you need some insider information I can give you the best advice. "

How did you get involved in travel?

"Actually, I wanted to go to Australia for one year for work and travel but then I liked Bali and Indonesia so much that I didn´t go to Australia. I just stayed in Bali. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I don´t have THE unique one. Indonesia is just unique. The locals give you the feeling that you are always welcome. The smell when you are walking down the roads or when you drive with your motorbike are incredible. You will smell the best food with a taste of incense sticks. When you drive through a village, children will smile at you and give you a friendly hello."

Hotel rooms very basic, not in a bad way, but because the hotel is ecologically -oriented, some features, such as no hot water for the showers, may not be good for everyone. It was fine for us.

He even showed up one day when we didn't expect to see him in order to make sure we got picked up by our other local tour guide. All the pick ups/drop offs went very smoothly. We really enjoyed our time in Teman Nagara, Cameron Highlands, and Penang.

Two minor hiccups-
1) When we checked in at Taman Negara, the resort had listed us as participating in different activities than what we expected on the itinerary: no biggie though, it was easily switched around without extra cost!
2) Our itinerary didn't list what time our dinner was in Penang, and we completely forgot to ask about it. A guide showed up to our hotel and waited for an hour to meet us (which we feel so badly about) but we were already in the town! We didn't make it to the dinner but I'm sure it would have been delicious!

I'd definitely book another trip with KimKim based on this experience!
