Testimonials

This was my 2nd Trip with The Abundant traveler. Being a pretty novice traveler, I typically do the touristy things and stay in a chain hotel. It is so fun to sign up for a trip with Kim and everything is taken care of. A few questions, a few suggestions and a few fun ideas were thrown my way and everything sounded so fun. Kim is a seasoned traveler and really knows how to get us immersed in the culture by finding smaller ares to stay in that aren't touristy, giving one a sense of what it would be like to actually live in the community.
L.S.
The Abundant Traveler has wonderful videos/vlogs on what to do in a location as well as practicalities which help in the enjoyment of your vacation. With Kim, you are well prepared and do not waste anytime in immersing yourself in what the place has to offer. I cannot thank Kim enough for making this much needed vacation so effortless and memorable.
