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.

Italy Awaits Travel Agent

Your View From Many of Italy's Finest Places!

Italy is a country that captivates the heart, and I’ve had the pleasure of exploring some of its most breathtaking regions. Each destination offers its own unique charm, from stunning lakeside views to rolling vineyards and historic cityscapes. If you’re dreaming of an Italian adventure, these places are sure to leave you in awe. Lake Como is pure elegance. The serene blue waters surrounded by dramatic mountains make for some of the most incredible scenery in the world. I explored charming villages like Bellagio and Varenna, where cobblestone streets led to cozy cafés, boutique shops, and incredible lakefront dining. Taking a boat ride across the lake, soaking in the views of opulent villas and lush gardens, was an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re sipping wine on a terrace or strolling along the water’s edge, Lake Como is the perfect mix of relaxation and romance. In contrast, Milan is Italy’s stylish and fast-paced metropolis. From admiring the stunning Duomo di Milano, one of the most impressive cathedrals in the world, to indulging in high-end shopping at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the city is a blend of history and modern sophistication. I couldn’t visit Milan without seeing Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, a truly mesmerizing masterpiece. And of course, the food scene is exceptional—from authentic risotto to the perfect espresso, Milan is a paradise for food lovers! Cinque Terre is a postcard-perfect stretch of colorful villages perched on cliffs overlooking the Ligurian Sea. Taking the train between cliff-side towns like Monterosso, Vernazza, and Riomaggiore was one of the most unforgettable experiences, offering breathtaking coastal views at every turn. I indulged in the region’s famous pesto pasta, relaxed on picturesque beaches, and took in some of the most stunning sunsets I’ve ever seen. Whether you explore by foot, train, or boat, Cinque Terre is an absolute must for travelers seeking charm and natural beauty. And then there’s Tuscany, a dream destination of rolling hills, medieval towns, and world-renowned wine. Exploring the vineyards of Chianti, tasting some of Italy’s finest wines made me fall even more in love with this region. From farm-to-table dining to breathtaking countryside drives, Tuscany is pure magic. Italy is a country that never fails to impress, and I’ve experienced some of its most incredible destinations firsthand. Whether you're looking for adventure, romance, history, or culinary delights, these places offer it all. If Italy is calling your name, lets plan the places you wish to visit!

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.

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
