Cristina, costume designer | rosé connoisseur
There aren't enough words for me to describe the experience I had with Kim in Bordeaux. In a time where we are chained to our phones and our computers and our work, the opportunities to unplug feel few and far between. The time I spent in Bordeaux feels like a dream that I cannot wait to relive. My experience was exactly as she described it, but so so much more. 'Live like a local' is an understatement. For me, it was the trip of a lifetime. We harvested our own grapes, made our own wine, ate Kim's amazing food, met incredible people and friends. Like Kim herself, the trip was genuine and special. Most importantly it helped me remember to live my life, not just record it

This experience was amazing. Kim was very kind, caring and attentive and made the experience very authentic and unique, from the moment we got picked up at the train station to our send-off. We got a lot of hands-on experience learning how the wine was made, food customs and traditions unique to the local culture. Everyday was different and we got to sample Bordeaux's varying facets--the wine regions, the sea and the city. Kim also brought us food and cooked for us each night and was flexible with requests -- everything was so delicious. Kim clearly creates a trip filled with meals, activities made with a lot of thought, heart and soul and allowing you to be part of the local community

The experience you provided at your retreat has continued to manifest daily in my own life’s journey. Doors that I never new existed have been opening and drawing me in. A deep eagerness to share, live, and learn has taken me to new heights that words cannot express. The passion I have to just allow myself to find peace, freedom, joy, and love took on such an intense quality through the light and love you ... shared with us
