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 Giant Mount Rainier Behind Lush Forests

I LOVE Washington and have had the privilege of exploring some of its most incredible destinations. Olympic National Park is a nature lover’s paradise, such as myself. I love to walk through moss-covered rainforests, hike alpine trails, and relax on the rugged beaches. And I've actually done them all in one day! I’ve explored the Hoh Rainforest, with its lush greenery and towering trees, soaked in the views at Hurricane Ridge, and stood in awe of the misty beaches at Ruby Beach. Whether it’s wildlife spotting, hiking, or just soaking in the serenity, Olympic National Park is so magical. On the city-girl side of me, Seattle is a city bursting with culture, food, and iconic sights that I've enjoyed. Standing atop the Space Needle offers panoramic views of the city, the Puget Sound, and even Mount Rainier on a clear day! I’ve wandered through the famous Pike Place Market, where fresh seafood, artisan goods, and the original Starbucks make for an unforgettable experience. From the lively waterfront to the buzzing neighborhoods filled with incredible food and music, Seattle has something for everyone. I also love a mix of adventure and relaxation, and Lake Chelan is the perfect getaway. The deep blue waters, surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, create a stunning setting for boating, wine tasting, and lakeside relaxation. I’ve explored charming wineries, taken in the peaceful views, and enjoyed some of the best farm-to-table dining in Washington. The San Juan Islands are a dream destination for anyone seeking natural beauty and wildlife encounters. I've taken ferry rides to Friday Harbor and kayaked through the pristine waters. It was an unforgettable experience that I was lucky enough to spot orcas in the wild, a truly breathtaking moment! The islands offer charming seaside towns, fresh seafood, and endless outdoor adventures, making them a must-visit for any traveler. Exploring the Puget Sound region is an adventure in itself. Whether it’s sailing through the calm waters, visiting quaint waterfront towns, or snowboarding in the winter, this area is packed with beauty and tranquility. Watching the sun set over the water with Mount Rainier in the background is one of the most unforgettable sights in the Pacific Northwest. And then there’s Tacoma, a city full of arts, culture, and waterfront charm. The Museum of Glass is a fascinating stop, showcasing stunning glassblowing displays, while Point Defiance Park offers incredible trails, gardens, and scenic views. The revitalized waterfront is a perfect place to stroll, dine, and take in the beauty of the Puget Sound. From my experience, Washington offers something for every type of traveler, whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure, city life, or a relaxing escape. From its rugged coastlines to its vibrant cities, every experience here is unforgettable. If you’re looking for your next great adventure, Washington is calling!

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
