I have been preparing for a career in travel my whole life without even knowing it, having already lived on 5 different continents. Born and raised in Germany, I left to attend high school in Ojai, California, and later went to business school at Fordham University in New York City. I never stayed in one place for long, spending time volunteering in Guatemala as well as studying abroad in Chile and Thailand. Before realizing that travel was my true passion, I began a successful career in event planning, working on events such as the New York Wine & Food Festival and the James Beard Foundation Awards at the Lincoln Center.
Eventually realizing that I wanted the freedom to travel more, I took a career shift and started working on cruise ships. The greatest perk of working on a cruise ship is the abundance of time off, which I used to continue my travel pursuits. It was while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on a trip to Tanzania that I met my husband. In order to start a family, I left the cruise ship life and started working in 5-star resorts. Yet, my passion for travel never stopped touring around the back of my mind! I started working hard to build a solid travel agency using new and improved travel programs to design custom and unique itineraries for my clients. Pimbi Adventures was born. My custom itineraries are the results of studying the countries, understanding the specialities, and finding a way to include the nation’s unique features into your travel plans.
Beyond travel, my family is very motivated to protect our environment and minimize the footprint that is left behind when traveling. Ideally, we wouldn’t leave a footprint but rather, leave a positive mark on all of the places we are lucky enough to visit!

From north to south, France offers wonderful sights for every tourist. Paris, with its Eiffel Tower, art treasures in the Louvre museum, and it's charming street cafes, is the perfect place to begin. Closeby, the enormous Chateau of Versailles and the magnificent Chartes Cathedral are certainly worth exploring.
The north western part of France on the Atlantic coast, one finds St. Malo and views of the famous island church of Mont-St-Michel. France is a big country with so much to see but it has an advanced train system like most of Europe and a railpass can make for easy vacation travel.
On the banks of the lovely Loire River with its fairytale castles, ride a bike and take all the time you want to see each elegant chateau up close. There are alpine villages and ski areas in the mountains of France. Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak at 15,770 feet, is surrounded by more than one hundred French-Alpine resorts.
Travelling south, one reaches the Riviera or Cote d'Azur, the golden stretch of beach along the Mediterranean which captivated artists like Matisse, Picasso, Renoir and Chagall. Here one can see many museums that showcase the work of these men.
Like most of France, the area has many medieval towns close to the coast that are worth seeing. Alsace and Lorraine on the Rhine River in the northeast of France offers delightful attractions. Close to Germany's Black Forest, cities like Strasbourg with its half-timbered houses, and the majestic castle of Koenigsbourg are certainly worth experiencing.
With several major rivers flowing through France, River Cruises are one of the most popular ways to explore all the charms of the country. Shore excursions allow you to participate in activities such as vineyard tours and wine tastings, opera performances, city tours, and food tasting tours. The selections are almost endless.
Throughout France, one will never be disappointed by the food! Baguettes, a huge variety of cheeses and wines, and don't forget the pastries, all these plus so much more make each trip to France even more enjoyable.

Olivia went above and beyond from the time I first reached out to her to the day we got home from our trip. Words really can't describe how perfect things went and how amazing our trip was. She was attentive, avialble, and more than helpful during the whole proccess. She booked our events, hotels, reservations, and checked in with us to make sure all was going as planned when neccisary. We will absolutely be using her again and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to book a trip. She put together an amazing itinerary for us down to the minute and took care of everything for us. We can't wait to go somewhere again soon and use her!

She took a laborious work off my plate
I am so grateful that I found you on Google. I looked for travel agents in AZ that specialize in travel to Portugal and your name appeared. I explained that I did not want a guided tour but needed help with booking Airbnbs, train travel, and sightseeing. I also wanted days in between sightseeing to explore on my own.
I wanted 10 days in Lisbon and 10 days in Porto.
You found and booked me into an Airbnb in both cities and arranged travel by train from Lisbon to Porto. You also gave me lists of sights in both places. They all sounded so good that it was hard to pick. You sent me vouchers and my schedule for the entire trip. All I had to do was be at each location on time.
You were available to me by phone and text the whole time I was in Portugal, which was enormously helpful.
You took a laborious requirement of trip planning off my plate.

Olivia helped us plan our perfect Honeymoon. My husband and I could not make up our mind which countries we wanted to visit in Europe especially since we only have two weeks time off, so Olivia suggested a Mediterranean cruise. It was the perfect suggestion as we only needed to unpack once and we got to see Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, and France. Because it was our Honeymoon, Olivia arranged a free stateroom upgrade to a suite and made dinner reservations for most nights of the cruise, so we didn't have to a thing except to relax. Olivia truly knows how to make a trip special.

Nothing but great things to say! Olivia helped my family and I book a bunch of different flights throughout Argentina for my wedding and helped keep us under budget. She was very flexible in communication and very responsive to our concerns.

Run don't walk to book a trip with Olivia Fabi
OLIVIA 👏 OLIVIA 👏 OLIVIA 👏
Run don't walk to book a trip with Olivia Fabian. Our group was on a tight budget, and wanted to see Ponta Delgada AND Lisbon in Portugal, and Olivia made both parts of the trip work within our financial framework. Olivia alerted us to flight delays, changes in activity reservations, places to go, everything we could have wanted and more. She was responsive on WhatsApp during our entire 10-day stay, and was a blessing as we navigated traveling, taxis, and reservations. I will 100% be booking a trip with Olivia again. And I cannot wait.
