Our Story
I blend immersive travel with a boutique style. Through my global health work and several study abroad programs, I’ve lived, worked, and traveled around the world—experiencing all kinds of accommodations, tasting local flavors, exploring hidden gems, and connecting with communities. I now use that experience (and my love for travel planning!) to curate unforgettable, stress-free trips for my clients.
Travel Style
My travel style is all about local experiences with a touch of luxury. I seek out the heart of every destination—savoring local cuisine and wine, exploring culture and nature, and connecting with the people who make a place truly special. I believe in immersive, authentic travel experiences—without sacrificing comfort.
From early adventures in hostels and tents to stays in boutique gems and luxury hotels, I’ve experienced it all—and that range gives me the insight to craft unforgettable trips for every traveler. I’m a meticulous planner who thrives on research and logistics, so my clients don’t have to. Just pack your bags—I’ll handle the rest.

We had such an amazing time in Africa! Thank you for your insightful advice on where to stay and which restaurants to go to. The flights were 5 stars and thanks again for the terrific advice. We will never forget our favorite trip THANKS to you!!

Christina was able to lock us in at a great rate for the Los Suenos part of my trip itinerary - we had an epic breakfast buffet which was complementary. Upon arrival we had a custom dessert spread delivered to our room (which was demolished!) and she was always available to us in the event we encountered any hiccups. I HIGHLY recommend Christina for all of your travel needs - she does the legwork / research based on what your trip goals are and makes taking a vacation a breeze!

When my daughter said she wanted to go to Disney for her birthday, I was hesitant because I had no idea where to even begin planning. I’ve planned plenty of trips but Disney seemed beyond overwhelming. When Christina told me she would love to plan the Disney trip for us, I immediately got excited! She made sure to consider every detail so that we could focus on giving our daughter the best first Disney experience for her birthday! I can honestly say it was the most magical trip because all of Christina’s time, research and efforts that went into it. I bugged her with random questions at odd hours and she was always available to help in any way she could. It is evident that Christina puts all her effort in to making sure her clients have the best experience, thinking through every detail such as hotel, location, parks, lightning lanes, rides, food recs, extra add-ons and more. She even notified the hotel to add birthday specific decorations and recommend vegetarian friendly restaurants for our family. She went above and beyond and it did not go unnoticed. She not only made our lives easier but she was a part of such a memorable trip that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you sooo much Christina! I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip, small or big- Christina will have you covered! I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know!!!
