With an incredible 21 years of travel and tourism experience, Kim Jacobs is as passionate about traveling as she about delivering exceptional client service.
She’s called no less than three different countries her home and has experienced many more. When asked about her favourite destinations, she is equally as enthusiastic about Hawaii, Los Angeles, Texas, Vancouver, Tasmania and New Zealand.
Kim takes great pleasure in curating seamless itineraries and experiences for her clients, providing detail and insight from the moment a client leaves their front door until the day they return home and naturally, everything in between.
"I'm always so excited to hear the stories of the places that my clients have travelled to, and of course the feedback of their experience on the holidays I've booked for them. Although there’s always a twinge of jealousy when I hear about places that I have not yet had the chance to visit!”
Kim has also been honing her cruise experience over the past 7 years and sees herself as a specialist in everything from close to home to luxury and river cruises, making her an excellent ‘go-to’ advisor to book that dream cruise holiday. It’s a travel style that is becoming more and more popular for the ease, immersion and incredible itineraries that are available even to some of the most remote destinations on the planet!
If you ask Kim about her tips for packing when she travels, she says she will pack her bag and then remove at least half of the contents of her suitcase, ensuring there’s room for new purchases! She is also enthusiastic about taking advantage of free wi-fi wherever you go and, her best tip of all is to take a box of chocolates to give to the flight crew on a long journey.
“They work really long hours to make your journey more comfortable, and really appreciate the small gesture of gratitude from guests upon landing. It’s such a small thing to offer but makes a very big impact.”

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
I had the privilege of re-creating a fabulous Canada and Alaska trip for clients that had to cancel due to Covid. Finally getting them on their way was such a joy.
What is your number one travel tip?
I always recommend that my clients take a box of chocolates for their flight crew. It's a small gesture but means so much.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
The USA is such a diverse country, and each state is so different from the next. Canada has amazing scenery and friendly people. I also recommend going anywhere in Europe - purely for the history and architecture. The UK, my homeland, also holds a special place in my heart.
Where is still on your bucket list?
Alaska for its towering icebergs and glaciers and beautiful national parks, Egypt for the pyramids and ancient artefacts, and Vietnam for its incredible food and hospitality.
