About
As a certified For a Pro Travel Advisor, I have a passion for creating unforgettable experiences for my clients. I have established strong relationships with global partners, including top hotels, resorts, cruise lines and tour operators, which allows me to offer exclusive perks and amenities to enhance your travel experience. Whether you are a food enthusiast seeking culinary adventures, an adventure seeker craving thrilling experiences or a history buff yearning for cultural immersion, I will craft a journey that resonates with you on a personal level. Let me take care of all the planning and logistics for you so you can focus on creating lifelong memories.
Travel style
My travel style can vary based on what I need or want out of my vacation. Sometimes, I want to get hands-on by practicing my Spanish in Madrid, learning to cook an authentic Italian meal in Tuscany or fully immersing myself in art at the Louvre. Sometimes I’m feeding my adventurous side by ziplining through rainforests in Mexico, snorkeling coral reefs off Key West or hiking the peaks of Hawaii. But there are still those times I just need a good dose of vitamin “SEA” – where I unplug fully with a tropical drink, a soft sandy beach and a great book to tune out the outside world completely! I have a hunch you are similar. Let’s face it, there isn’t a one-size fits all vacation and what we need can vary based on the demands of our “real world” or those items still unchecked on your bucket list. No matter your travel style (or styles) I am here to help you find the ideal trip to fit your needs and preferences.

Christina 's reviews
She was very knowledgeable, she answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with our travel plans. The booking and planning of our vacation was very easy. It made us feel very secure knowing we had a person we could call on if anything came up that we needed advice on. We will definitely be booking a vacation with Christina Gales in the future.

I would give Christina 10 stars if they were available. We haven’t used a Travel Agent in years. Christina was the best choice and has been a huge help throughout our trip. This has been a once in a lifetime trip and we hope to have more once in a lifetime trips with Christina’s help. Thank you.

We cannot thank Christina Gales Travel enough for planning the perfect spring break cruise for our family of 6, with 4 kids ranging in ages 10-18! She made the entire process so easy so all we had to do was enjoy this fabulous vacation. Christina understood my preferences and standards when it comes to vacationing, so when she presented me with the idea of a cruise in the Western Caribbean on Celebrity Cruises I knew it would be a fit! We had never taken a cruise before, and with a large family, finding accommodations and activities that suit everyone can be a challenge, but she took the time to find the ideal cruise line and itinerary. She considered every detail, from family-friendly excursions to onboard entertainment options, ensuring that there was something for everyone to enjoy. Booking our cruise through Christina also brought us peace of mind. She went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed for travel arrangements as well as tips for first time cruisers! We are incredibly grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and genuine passion for creating unforgettable travel experiences. We highly recommend Christina Gales Travel to anyone looking to plan their next vacation with ease and confidence.

As working parents, we barely had time to plan our wedding, let alone, honeymoon, and Christina came to our rescue. She asked all the right questions, which led to an incredible experience. I loved the app, which provided a detailed itinerary, along with tips and tricks she included which we regularly referred to before and during our trip. The hotel she booked was lovely, and we had a blast on the "Eating Europe" food and wine tour she found for us. Christina was always available for questions and I loved the personal touches she added throughout our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Christina and this experience - I'm so happy we used Christina Gales Travel. We would definitely recommend her and we do plan to work with her again. Thank you, Christina!
