About Me

Portugal's landscapes are a breathtaking mosaic of diverse natural wonders.

Golden Coastlines: The Algarve, with its sun-drenched beaches, dramatic cliffs, and crystal-clear waters, is a haven for beach lovers and adventurers alike. The coastal scenery, dotted with hidden coves and sea caves, is perfect for exploration and relaxation.

Majestic Mountains and Valleys: The rolling vineyards of the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcase terraced slopes that have been cultivated for centuries. This region is not only a feast for the eyes but also a testament to human ingenuity in transforming rugged terrain into lush vineyards.

Lush Islands: The Azores and Madeira islands, with their verdant landscapes, volcanic craters, and pristine lakes, offer a paradise for nature enthusiasts. From the green hills and hot springs of São Miguel to the exotic flora of Madeira, these islands are a showcase of nature's bounty.

Historic Towns and Villages: The quaint villages of Portugal, such as the walled town of Óbidos and the medieval village of Monsaraz, offer a glimpse into the country's past. These well-preserved settlements, with their cobbled streets and ancient architecture, are steeped in history and charm.

Portugal is a country where every landscape tells a story, and every stone has witnessed the passage of time. Its natural beauty and rich history create a compelling narrative that captivates visitors. From the rugged coastlines and verdant valleys to the vibrant cities and historic towns, Portugal invites you to explore, experience, and be enchanted by its timeless charm. Whether you’re wandering through ancient castles, savoring a traditional meal, or simply taking in the stunning views, Portugal offers an experience that is as enriching as it is unforgettable.

Wonderful Trip to Andalucia Spain
Reviewed By Davey Boy - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Spain | Europe
This is our 2nd trip planned by Kylie and Lori Borders. All I can say is Wow! Everything went remarkably well and the level of detailed planning was amazing. We appreciated the itinerary variety that included ticketed attractions, small group and private tours, and free time. It was a perfect balance! We received updates during the trip that were timely and useful. We used trains, a bus and private drivers to get around. It all worked exceeding well. We did a 2.5-week circle trip through Andalucia in southern Spain. There were plenty of things to see and do without having to travel north to Madrid or Barcelona. Some of our favorite places were true under the radar finds. The hotels we stayed at were very comfortable and unique. All had great locations for exploring. We used to plan our own trips. It became too much work. We wish we started using a travel agent sooner. Kylie and Lori will take care of you and make your trip memorable.

Peru/Ecuador Extravaganza
Reviewed By Davey Boy - Seattle, WA | Traveled to South America
First time using a travel agent in over 30 years. I got tired of planning my own trips. Lori and Kylie were wonderful to work with. They were very patient with numerous changes and provided excellent recommendations. They are good listeners and understand when we might need to go in another direction. This was the longest trip of our lives. 26 days, 9 flights, 10.5 hotels, 2 trains, 1 ferry and countless activities and restaurants. Everyday we had lunch and dinner recommendations and numerous activity suggestions. We had a minor hiccup over a weekend and they jumped into action to help us out. 95% of their recommendations were winners. Everything was amazing and I still can't believe how flawlessly everything went. I am working with them on my second trip for next month. Highly recommend this dynamic duo!

A trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Rosita - Albuquerque, NM | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Lori helped book our accommodations for our recent Japan trip. She did so much more and we were very happy and relieved to have booked with her. She did such a wonderful job meeting our requests and needs. She listens, is detailed oriented and offers great extra travel suggestions and tips. She has so much travel experience. She also was available any time we needed her and if we had questions or concerns. I also loved following the online travel itinerary she created as it was super helpful. Everyone needs Lori!

On a scale of 1 to 10, my trip was a 20.
Reviewed By Laurie G - Maryland | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
It is with the greatest pleasure that I’m able to report that the trip you put together for me to the Mount Fuji area was beyond perfect. On a scale of 1 to 10, my trip was a 20. Again, my deepest thanks to you for the marvelous little adventure I just had in the Kawaguchiko area. I will certainly be recommending you and Pimbi Adventures to my friends planning trips to Japan.

Amazing Japan!
Reviewed By JST - Dahlonega. GA | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Lori provided excellent service and attention to detail that made our trip to Japan just incredible. We had some mobility challenges that Lori addressed for us so that our complete focus could be on the experience, not the logistics. Her guidance on best uses of our time completely aligned with our desire to experience the culture, see all types of gardens, and travel in the countryside. We are very grateful for her expertise and patience!
