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.

The Best of California Travel Agent

The Hollywood Sign is a California Staple!

I’ve had the privilege of exploring some of California's most incredible destinations, and each offers a unique experience. California is a state filled with adventure, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant cities. One of the places I remember the most is Santa Monica, because it's the perfect coastal escape, blending relaxation with excitement. Walking along the Santa Monica Pier, riding the Ferris wheel with ocean views, and exploring the lively Third Street Promenade offer a mix of fun and charm. Whether biking along the beach, enjoying fresh seafood, or catching a sunset over the Pacific, Santa Monica is an unforgettable destination. Sacramento, California’s capital, is a hidden gem full of history, culture, and incredible food. Strolling through Old Sacramento, with its Gold Rush-era charm, feels like stepping back in time. The city’s riverfront setting adds a relaxing touch, making it a great stop for travelers looking for a different side of California. Lake Tahoe is a paradise in every season. In winter, I’ve snowboarded the pristine slopes, and in summer, I’ve kayaked on the crystal-clear waters and taken in the breathtaking views of Emerald Bay. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure or a peaceful retreat, Lake Tahoe is pure magic! For nature lovers, Redwood National Forest is an awe-inspiring experience. Walking beneath the towering ancient redwoods, some of the tallest trees in the world, is humbling and breathtaking. It's also perfect for taking photos of your loved ones next to them, they are so massive! The scenic drives, peaceful forest trails, and rugged coastal beauty make this a must-visit for anyone who appreciates nature’s wonders. And of course, there’s Los Angeles—a city of entertainment, culture, and iconic sights. From strolling down the Hollywood Walk of Fame to exploring the art and food scene in Downtown LA, the city has something for everyone. Griffith Observatory offers incredible views, while Universal Studios brings movie magic to life. Whether shopping on Rodeo Drive, relaxing on the beaches, or exploring diverse neighborhoods, LA is full of energy and excitement. Getting a good look at the Hollywood sign is surreal and awesome as well. Last but definitely not least, I must mention San Francisco! An unforgettable memory for me was having a sourdough bowl of clam chowder while gazing at the Golden Gate Bridge. There's absolutely nothing like it! Let me help you plan the perfect trip to experience all that California has to offer!

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
