My Background
I have always been intrigued with travel and what there is to explore and experience all over the world. My father was in the Air Force so we traveled back and forth many time across the US. I enjoy helping my clients have the most memorable travel experiences. Hawaii is one of my favorite destinations-each island is different from the other. Being a member of Virtuoso we have so many wonderful places for you to experience. From relaxing on the beach to cruising the Danube to trekking the Swiss Alps or just about anything that suits your desire- I would love to help you with your travel adventure.

Kim recently planned a beautiful trip for our group of 3 couples to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. Upon our return, our flight from Charlotte, NC. To Boston was cancelled due to a snow storm. We had no sooner found out, when our cell phone rang and it was Kim calling from Greenland to advise us as of what to do. We spent the night in a Motel, and the next morning she advised us to go back to the Airport and check in because she was tracking our flight and assured us we were going to get to Boston that day. She was absolutely right. Because of her advice, we were able to get on an even earlier flight back to Boston. We highly recommend Kim for any and all of your travel plans. She goes above and beyond expectations.

Perfect 25th anniversary celebration!
By: Texas Two
Reviewed on: 29 Sep 2015
We started working with Kim about 10 months prior to our dates for ideas. We decided on a Mediterranean cruise on Azamara, as we have cruise with them before and enjoy the small ships and interesting itineraries. We started with a few days in Rome, train to Venice, then cruise to Athens. Kim arranged all the transfers, hotel, train transfers and in Venice a "foodie" tour of the bars and a private gondola ride. We had one issue with a flight that was delayed, so we missed our connecting flight and arrived after the transfer was arranged. A call to the local contact was not helpful, so Kim (via text) told us to take a taxi, keep the receipt, and she would handle the rest. We had a refund on our pre-paid transfer before we returned home! She had also informed everyone of our anniversary, so we had champagne waiting in all the hotel rooms, and even got us an upgrade to the Owner's suite on the ship! Everything was wonderful, and can't wait to work with Kim on our next vacation!

Our Globus tour of the National Parks was a success. On a scale of 1-10 our tour director, Todd Aspberger, was a 10+. Small group (39) and we all connected so well. Would definitely do a Globus tour again. Only criticism we had was that there was no variety in the breakfast buffet. Only choice of eggs each morning was scrambled. Would have liked to have ordered off the menu. Also, the Globus itinerary stated we would have a tour of Salt Lake City and that didn't happen.

We were celebrating my husbands retirement with an extended trip to Tuscany, then catching the Azamara Quest for a 10 day western Mediterranean cruise.
Kim organized the trip, and coordinated for us to be included with the Virtuoso private tour and luncheon in Malta.
At the end of the cruise, we stayed 4 nights in Barcelona.
Everything went great. We were gone a total of 28 days-and it was the perfect retirement celebration!

Last minute Backroads Trip to Normandy - Brittany
By: Kevin Thomas
Reviewed on: 27 Jun 2018
In March, friends had registered for a June cycling trip to France and asked if we would be interested. I contacted Backroads a few days later and found there were no more hotel rooms available for this trip. On June 1, Backroads called advising a cancellation but the trip would begin on June 10th. We were excited but I was feeling overwhelmed about last minute travel plans. Fortunately, I had come to know Kim Davis-Smith from spin class and I called her. I explained the situation and my panic. She graciously took on the task and spent the better part of a week coordinating flights, trains, hotels and transfers. She would email late at night with various options and even emailed after we had arrived in France with updates and to check on us. She took care of so many things that I would not have considered and recommended a fabulous boutique hotel for our last 2 nights in Paris. Kim made our trip a wonderful experience rather than a disaster (had I been in charge).

I wanted to plan a trip to the Caribbean and I was not familiar with all the islands. I called Kim and within hours she had found me a fabulous all-inclusive resort well within my budget. Her knowledge of the area was very helpful in deciding which island would best suit us. Our flight home was delayed with bad weather and Kim contacted me to check on us. I was very happy with the service Kim provided and would definitely use her again and refer her to friends.

Our Globus Travel booker

Reviewed on: 13 Apr 2019
Kim knows her stuff and is detail oriented. She makes sure all the little things like transfers and excursions are taken care. Booking flights has been very complicated to do as airlines are changing procedures, etc. We sometimes struggle to get the flights and seating we want, like extra leg room. Kim has for the most part got our flights how we like them. This process takes numerous phone calls and emails to complete.
We have not always used a travel agent before and it takes a bit longer to book tours, etc. Kim’s help is greatly appreciated.

From the time I asked for her help with a weekend getaway she did the research on availability and kept me informed of the possible locations.

She knew we wanted both indoor & outdoor pool & hot tub & they were perfect.
