Christina Wang
I love spending my spare time out hiking in the forest, exploring a charming village, or spending the day at the beach. My passion for traveling led me to study Tourism for three years in Australia. I have now returned home to Norway, where I help people find the best and most authentic places to discover the beauty this country has to offer.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I Specialize in Norway as a destination. From the historical cities, authentic countrysides, to outdoor adventures in the fjords and mountains. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I have been lucky to have the opportunity to travel from an early age. Both within Norway and around the world. This woke the curiosity of different cultures, people, and landscapes, which again lead me to study Tourism. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I always get amazed by the beauty of nature, may it be the breathtaking view from a mountaintop in Norway, to beautiful colors of plants or the wildness of the ocean.
On my first trip to Australia, I spent two nights sleeping outside in a swag. I was laying under the open sky with animals roaming freely around, for then to wake up to a beautiful sunrise coloring the majestic Uluru and Kata Tjuta. This is an experience that I will never forget."

Norway experience with kimkim

Dec 27 - Jan 3, 2023
The kimkim platform was user friendly and easy to navigate. The service allowed me to interact with the travel specialist directly and in real time. I was very pleased with the service. My children and I enjoyed the Northern Lights and tour of Oslo the most. The whale watching consumed the entire day after a long travel day. We returned from the whale watching at 1700 and were expected to go on a reindeer feeding and sledding event at 1800. It was too much, too fast and we cancelled it.... read more

Christina was very accommodating from the start. Despite time constraints and limited period to prepare, she crafted an amazing itinerary for me and my husband. She replied to our queries, she was available when we needed help and offered alternatives when activities were cancelled due to lack of snow. We were blessed to see the Aurora Borealis twice in a row, and the fjords left me crying in awe. Christina went the extra mile to make our Norway experience an amazing one. We cannot thank her... read more
Hi Maria Christina.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback!
I am so happy you finally got to go on this trip and that you had a good time!
As you mention it was a last minute trip and therefor the availability for accommodation was a bit limited.
Luckily you did not come to stay in your room!:)
I am so happy that you got such a great light show on the sky!
It was a pleasure planning with you and follow your journey. Thank you for updating me along the way and sharing amazing... read more

Christina helped us with planning our trip every step of the way. She was fantastic!! I told her when we would be there and what we wanted to do (in general) and she planned out every day perfectly. Every day was full of all the activities that would have taken me forever to get arranged. We arrived in Oslo, then took the train to Bergen/Flan and flew to Tromso. Tromso was the highlight of the tour - we saw the most amazing Northern Light show that we could have ever imagined, even our... read more
Hi Linda :)
Thank you for taking the time to write this review.
It is very helpful for both me and future travellers to read about your experience with the different activities and accommodations.
I am so glad to hear that you had a great visit to Norway.
And how amazing that the Aurora put on a good show for you, in the sky!
It was a pleasure working with you and I hope we will cross paths again, should you ever decide to return to Norway.
Warm regards,

Christina was fantastic! She put together an itinerary that was a great fit for my family, as we have two children ages 5 and 7 years old. The hotels were in great location, convenient for traveling, and the views were great. Her recommendations for restaurants, bakeries, and sits to visit were also spot on. More importantly, she has been very responsive throughout the planning and booking process. Even during the trip, she was able to help with some issues and well as answering my... read more
Thank you for your kind words and nice review, Da-Wei.

My husband and I had an excellent experience planning and booking our recent trip to Norway (including the Lofoten islands, Vesteralen and Oslo) with kimkim. From the start, we felt that Christina, our local specialist, was not only knowledgeable, but was listening to us regarding what we were hoping to get out of our trip. When she first sent our itinerary to us, it was awesome to see that she had included the balance of time outdoors and experiencing Norwegian people, food and culture that... read more

The trip plan that Christina at KimKim.com put together was perfect for us. I stressed that we enjoy all kinds of local interaction and don't mind figuring our way around. We look forward to figuring out new countries on our own, it really gets you immersed in your destination. Then all I did was pick 1 city as the starting point and explained that we like to do one thing each day. She recommended a few places and away we went on trains and ferries!

I started to plan this trip before contacting Kimkim. So we already had our flights and the first night in Oslo booked. Then I came in contact with Christina, and everything started to flow magically. I had an idea of combining city and nature impressions on the journey including some physical activity as well. Christina was able to come up with this perfectly. So in the end of the day we had our city walks as well as fjords tours - hiking, on boats, on trains and on kayaks, all of which... read more
Hi Leon & Laura,

You had a good balance of Norway's cities, mountains and Fjords.
I am so glad you liked it!
It was great working with, and planning your adventure.
As well as staying in touch while "on the road" and hearing about your experiences.
I hope we get to work with you again one day!

Christina really helped me come up with an amazing itinerary for my summer trip to Norway. She was completely upfront with me from the start about where to put my focus on, and what I would need to leave for another trip. She helped me narrow down all of the places that I would be able to see on an 8 full day trip plan which included Bodø, Hamnøy, Reine, Svolvær, Festvågtind/ Henningsvær, and Tromso. It was jam packed, but I was able to see quite a bit. I also had amazing views on the hikes... read more

And for all these Amazing photos! It is so nice to see some of your experiences of Norway!
I am so happy you had a great time here.
I hope I get the chance to plan with you again, should you decide to come for another visit!

From experience planning family vacations to different countries comes with the usual stresses - much about the destination is unknown, weather, activites, places of interest, hotels! Typically, Costco Travel is our first choice. Norway is a destination that is not served by Costco, which led me to KimKim. The name was weird to take it seriously initially. However, recommendations from the New York Times, BBC, The National Geographic, etc. sealed the deal.
The KimKim portal is very easy to... read more
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this detailed review, Raj.
It gives such a good insight to the destinations and activities from a travellers perspective.
I am really happy that you had a great time and that Norway as a destination is now on the top of your list, edging out Switzerland ;)
I hope we get the chance to one day welcome you a gain,
if your family decides to visit another part of the country.
Thank you for choosing us, it was a pleasure working with you!

After three years of KimKim correspondence, two false starts due to Covid, it finally happened, and it was more than worth waiting for! Beginning with a challenging but spectacular hike to Trolltunga led by our excellent guide Linda, this set the tone for more spectacular experiences to come including an amazing camping and kayaking and camping experience with Much Better Adventures along the Naerfjord and Aurlandsfjord before returning to Bergen via the majestic Flam Railway. The next part... read more

And for sharing these beautiful pictures. It is always nice to see our travellers photos from what they experienced on the trip.
We hope we get the pleasure to plan with you again, if you are coming for another Norway adventure.
