Belize Travel Agent Specialist

Belize, a jewel of Central America, has become one of my favorite travel destinations. Having visited may times, I've come to appreciate its rich history, stunning natural beauty, and warm, welcoming culture. Each trip offers new adventures, whether it's exploring ancient Mayan ruins, snorkeling or scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters of the Belize Barrier Reef, or simply enjoying the laid-back Caribbean atmosphere.

One of the things that keeps drawing me back is Belize's incredible biodiversity. The first time I visited Belize it was for an entire month, for the purpose of documenting wildlife there. I had the incredible experience of sighting two wild jaguars in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary! The country is home to lush rainforest's, exotic wildlife, and some of the best marine life I've ever encountered. Swimming with nurse sharks and stingrays at Shark Ray Alley was an unforgettable experience, and the vibrant coral gardens of Hol Chan Marine Reserve never fail to amaze me. The Great Blue Hole, a world famous diving site, is a must-see for anyone interested in exploring the depths of the ocean.

Beyond the water Belize offers countless opportunities for adventure. I visited the ancient Mayan city of Xunanunich and climbed the top of El Castillo which provided breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle. The Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave, with its fascinating combination of archeology and adventure, was one of the most thrilling experiences of my travels. Wading through water-filled caves to discover ancient artifacts and skeletal remains felt like stepping back in time.

The culture of Belize is another highlight of the visits. The fusion of Creole, Garifuna, Mayan, and Mestizo influences creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere. I've loved experiencing local traditions, from lively drumming performances in Hopkins to savoring delicious Belizean cuisine, and the famous Bilezean stew chicken.

Each trip to Belize brings new discoveries and cherished memories for me. Whether I am relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Ambergris Caye, exploring the jungles of the Cayo District, or meeting friendly locals, I always find something new to love. Belize continues to be a destination that calls me back, and I can't wait for my next adventure in this incredible country.

Santorini Greece - Travel Advisor Specialist

A photo from Santorini, the views are incredible!

Greece is like a dream come true for me—a journey filled with breathtaking landscapes, ancient history, and some of the best food I’ve ever had. I've explored many places in Greece, but my favorites are Santorini, Athens, Mykonos, and Naxos, each destination offering its own unique charm, beauty, and unforgettable experiences. Santorini is a picture-perfect paradise. I've enjoyed wandering through the winding streets of Oia, stopping every few feet to admire the whitewashed buildings cascading down the cliffs and the deep blue of the Aegean below. Every sunset feels like a private performance, with the sky painted in pinks and golds. I like to just sit on a terrace, sipping wine and soaking it all in. I've explored the black sand beaches, sailed along the caldera, and indulged in seafood so fresh it practically melted in my mouth. Santorini is romance at its finest, a place that makes every moment feel like a scene from a movie. Athens brings history to life in a way I had never experienced before. I've taken walking tours so that I could take a deep-dive into learning the history from someone who grew up there. Walking through the Acropolis, standing before the towering Parthenon, I could almost hear the echoes of the past. I explored the lively streets of Plaka, discovering charming little tavernas serving up moussaka and souvlaki, some Greek staple foods. The city is a perfect blend of ancient wonder and modern energy, with street musicians playing, and restaurants to try. Mykonos is where relaxation meets vibrant nightlife. By day, I lounge on golden beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters and soak up the Mediterranean sun. By night, I wander through the maze-like streets of Mykonos Town, where every turn leads to another picturesque alleyway. Naxos is a hidden gem that I've been to and the beaches are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen—long stretches of soft sand and turquoise waters that bring so much peace. I've also explored charming mountain villages where friendly locals welcomed me with homemade cheese and warm smiles. From the stunning cliffs of Santorini to the ancient wonders of Athens, the vibrant energy of Mykonos to the serene beauty of Naxos, Greece gives me memories I’ll carry forever.

Exceptional Service & Unforgettable Great Lakes Cr

I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Christina as our travel agent! From start to finish, she made planning our Victory Cruise Line trip through the Great Lakes effortless and enjoyable. She took the time to understand our needs, especially since I was traveling with my grandparents, and ensured every detail was perfectly arranged. The cruise itself was phenomenal—stunning views, comfortable accommodations, and top-notch service. Christina went above and beyond by recommending the best excursions that suited our pace, ensuring accessibility, and even checking in before and after our trip to make sure everything was perfect. Her expertise and attention to detail truly made this a memorable experience for all of us. If you're looking for a travel agent who genuinely cares and makes the process stress-free, Christina is the best!

Oregon & Washington Vaca

Our friends' trip to Oregon was absolutely incredible, thanks to Christina’s expert planning and suggested places! We hiked to the breathtaking Multnomah Falls, stayed in a charming treehouse she booked for us, and had a blast enjoying craft brews at Thunder Island Brewery. The stunning views at Cannon Beach made for some unforgettable photos, just like she said they would. To top it off, we crossed the Columbia River into Washington for ziplining adventure at Skamania Lodge! So fun! Every detail was seamless, making this an unforgettable trip. Highly recommend Christina for planning the perfect adventure in OR & WA!

Romantic Greek Getaway

My fiancé and I wanted to plan our honeymoon somewhere that we wouldn't forget. We were having the hardest time figuring out where we should go and realized how much of a task it was doing all of the research. That's when we reached out to Christina and asked for her help. She suggested Santorini Greece as it was romantic, scenic, and tranquil. We stayed in this gorgeous ocean view resort that was built into the mountains, had our own private spa, and nestled in the middle of Firostefani - next to all of the best restaurants and shopping. She even booked a catamaran ride for us to tour the different islands of Santorini, which ended with a beautiful golden sunset on the water. Everything was perfect! Thank you so much for the help Christina!

Grand Canyon father and son trip

I can't thank Christina Brune enough for helping plan an unforgettable trip to the Grand Canyon for me and my son. From the very start, she understood exactly what we were looking for—an adventure and a great bonding experience. Since she had been to the Grand Canyon before, she knew all the best spots and helped us plan an itinerary that balanced sightseeing, hiking, and downtime to soak it all in. She took care of every detail, from mapping out the perfect road trip route from Lubbock, Texas, to booking great hotels along the way. Her recommendations made the long drive a fun experience rather than just a haul to our destination. The hotels were comfortable and convenient, and she even gave us tips on where to stop for the best food and views. The Grand Canyon itself was breathtaking, but what made this trip truly special was the way Christina tailored it to us. She knew this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a father and son, and she made sure it was stress-free and pac
