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."

Amerikalinjen
Oslo

What an amazing hotel that is historically significant yet very refined. Its location is convenient to the train station, mall, and basically anything else in Oslo. We literally only walked around Oslo and the Amerikalinjen was the perfect base camp.

One of the oldest in the city, yet perfectly restored and updated.

It's a very cute lodge-style hotel. Right on the edge of the fjord, a quick walk to the tourist shopping area and the boat in the morning. The Viking brewery that is owned by the same as the hotel was quite the experience and felt authentic

Viking Dinner at Ægir BryggeriPub

We did the Viking tasting dinner, and brews. It was very interesting food and it tasted good. However, our favorite was the focaccia bread and the mashed potatoes; we liked them so much that we got a larger portion for dessert than we had on our tasting meal. Would definitely eat here again and order off the full menu.

Then off to Bergen by train. We went on another walking tour. That was more of a hike because of the hill but was very picturesque. We spent 2 nights in Bergen. Then took a plane to Tromso. We went on a Chasing the Northern lights tour and that didn’t disappoint either! The last thing we did was Dog Sled Ride and that was a blast! I think we have to go back in the summer to see all these wonderful views with out snow.
Everything went so smoothly, Thank you Christina for a trip of a life time!

We were three people traveling together, and Kimkim walked us through all of the various railroad trips and transfers so that we very easily could find our way to wherever we needed to be. Christina chose beautiful and convenient hotels for us and arranged great experiences. All of Norway was wonderful, but the northern lights boat ride in Tromso, the Sauna/Fjord experience in Flam, the incredible Flam railroad, the Hotel Norge in Bergen all stand out. Mathia at Kimkim was the person on the ground during much of our trip and he was extremely helpful in making sure we made all connections and everything ran smoothly. We had a couple of little wrinkles - miscommunications with a hotel and a tour guide that caused some confusion and delay. And in both cases, Kimkim staff worked seamlessly to make sure our concerns were quickly addressed and everything was sorted. We would love to visit Norway again - it's amazing - and would be happy to return to Kimkim for help.

Hotel Bristol

We would give this hotel mixed reviews only because it was so luxurious and we are not that kind of people. I, Maury, was uncomfortable in the dining room as I did not have a sport coat with me and certainly not a suit! The rooms were as one would expect in such an hotel though we had to navigate stairs which was impossible for me to carry with heavy luggage. As the hotel was booked full, the receptionist took it upon herself to carry our two large cases down the stairs. She also arranged to have them carried up when we departed. We returned a couple of days later and had been given a room minus the stairs. Hotel staff seemed a bit aloof but when personally engaged, were full of smiles, stories and helpful directions. Stairs into hotel and a ramp would have been appreciated. We left before breakfast one morning and were told a box breakfast would be waiting; it was not and we had to leave before it could be put together as the taxi was waiting. Central location was great.

Authenticity & Character

Plenty of towels, WARM bathroom floor! Large desk for our daily blogs to write and send. Comfortable chairs. Lots of storage space. Coffee and tea in the room. Great breakfasts with a regal setting - almost discomforting to us "simple" folk.
Thon Hotel Høyers
Skien

By the time we arrived at our final hotel, we were acclimated to a great breakfast, lift for luggage, helpful staff, central location. Once again, though, we were faced with stairs into the hotel and this continued to be a problem for those, like us, who are 80+ and burdened with luggage and legs no longer spry.

Authenticity & Character
OK - did not explore much. I only rated them as 3 stars because of the lack of interaction with staff and time in Skien. We had no complaints or suggestions and would probably rate them higher if we had more time there.

Can't write much here as we did not take in any sights the short time we were there. We asked this trip to be included in our itinerary because I wanted to meet with paternal cousins whom I'd never met in the past.

His knowledge, humor. On the negative side, part of the trip over water was in heavy fog which he sped over at high speed. However, he made sure we understood he grew up there and knew the area very well. Still, we came upon an electric ferry in the mist which he easily avoided but was still a surprise to him! I was a bit anxious because of his speed and the worry about there might be another equally knowledgeable boatman out there also traveling fast.
