Coffee in hand, the wind in your hair, and the open sea.
Is there anything better than that first morning onboard?

Excuse me while I take a bow after this stellar review from a client who recently got back from a bucket list trip.
"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 worked together to perfect hotels, coordinate multi-city destinations and narrow down what tours and experiences made the most sense for the type of trip they wanted to take.
And I'm so happy they enjoyed every minute.
Happy client = happy travel advisor!

Who is ready to escape reality in beautiful Portifino? 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️

Sometimes, the solution is as simple as getting out of your head and your environment and seeing another part of the world.
But can we talk for a minute about the quality of your Holiday?
It could be a quick 4-night getaway to Napa or a two-week stay in Italy. Here are a few things I've found make all the difference in whether my trips (and the trips of my clients) are great instead of just average.
Personalization - This one is totally underestimated, but there are so many places you can go to and hundreds of thousands of hotels and resorts where you can stay. My picks and recommendations are based on all of the information I file away about my clients and how they specifically like to travel.
Pre-Planning - It's a total dream when you can arrive at the destination with the little details already taken care of. The airport transport company is waiting, or the rental car company; your tours and experiences are taken care of, so you can breathe easily.
An Advocate - When flights get moved or canceled, or you decide you want to stay longer, it's nice to have someone who can step in and move mountains to make things happen quicker for you so you can enjoy your time, not spend it on hold or at the front desk.
Just a few things to consider to elevate your next vacation ✨

Ibizia is world-renowned for its high-energy club scene, but this beautiful Island off the coast of Spain offers so much more! Beautiful beaches, a medieval town and tropical coves all waiting to be discovered!
So don’t let its party-rep fool you! This Isla Bonita is perfect for a quiet romantic escape!

What's the best part of waking up that first morning on vacation?
For me, it's that morning mimosa II'm sipping in a beach lounge as I listen to the ocean knowing my out of office is on and I don't need to worry about anything but relaxing - I literally feel the stress fall away!
What's your favorite first morning thing about being on vacation?

Pesky summer travel hiccups + what to do about them
➡️ Seat Swap Surprises
So, you’ve checked in online and picked your seats, but then you get to the airport and... surprise! They’ve changed.
What to Do: Head straight to the gate desk (not the ticketing counter). Gate agents are your best friends here—they can help fix the seating situation or find someone willing to switch seats.
Lost or Delayed Luggage
➡️ Your bags are MIA
What to do: Find the airline’s baggage desk near the baggage claim area and file a claim before you leave the airport. If you can’t locate the desk, call the airline ASAP to report your missing luggage.
Hang on to those receipts for any essentials you need to buy—just keep it reasonable (no designer splurges, unfortunately). Then, when you’re back, file a claim with your travel insurance. If you got
➡️ Delayed and cancelled flights
What to do: Check the Department of Transportation (DOT) Dashboard: If the delay is within the airline’s control, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Airline Customer Service Dashboard will show you what each airline should do to make it up to you.
➡️ Not Loving Your Hotel Room
Your room’s not up to par? Here’s how to get it sorted
What to do: Ask for the manager. Call from your room or go to the front desk and ask to speak to a manager. Be specific about the issues and honest about what resolution you’re seeking.
➡️ Rental Car Issues
What to do: If your rental car isn’t what you expected, contact the rental company’s customer service. They might be able to upgrade or switch your vehicle. Always check the car for damage before driving off the lot and report any issues immediately.
I/we hope you don't encounter any of these hiccups this summer but in case you do, use this as your quickstart guide to problem-solving. Enjoy these blissful summer days!

I'll be honest. I don't know why so many people put up with the endless Google searches, Internet reviews and overall chaos and confusion that comes with planning trips themselves.
Especially people who don't really enjoy doing all of the nitty gritty.
Because the alternative is so much better, call up a great travel advisor!
What you need friend is a travel advisor who can:
🏨 Serve up resort or hotel options that match your trip.
🌊 Help you get clear on what activities and experiences are worth doing in the destination — or maybe none. Sometimes all you need is time to starfish on a beach lounger.
🔎 Research and book everything for you so you don't have to lift a finger
✨ Jump in and assist if you have any challenges on your trip.
It can absolutely be that easy! Ready when you are to start planning, it all starts with a DM.

Sometimes we think our teens want nothing to do with us, but then we take them on a 1:1 vacation and it’s nothing but smiles, laughs and heart-to-hearts!
My 15 year old and I had the best time in NYC!! I learned more about the woman she is becoming and our bond is stronger than ever at such a critical time for her!
Have you ever traveled solo with one of your kids? It so share the story in the comments!

Does the resort or hotel you stay at matter to you?
Finding the perfect resort is a delicate balance between your budget, travel style, and having your ears to the ground.
Sometimes, clients come to me with resorts and hotels on their list that I know for a fact just won't work for them either from having stayed there myself or hearing about experiences from my worldwide network of travel industry connections.
One thing my clients can always count on is my honest opinion and tailored recommendations based on how they like to travel and the places they've loved in the past.
That extra intel I pass onto them makes all the difference in where they decide to stay.
I'm of the opinion that the resort or hotel absolutely matters. What do you think?
